Muon spin rotation characterization of superconducting niobium for applications in high field superconducting radio frequency cavities

μSR was used to investigate the effect of sample preparation on the magnetic field penetration of high purity niobium to improve the fabrication and preparation of superconducting niobium radio frequency (RF) cavities for use in particle acceleration. The sample preparations tested were (1) electro-...
