Title: Possibility of MGB2 application to superconducting cavities

Conference ·
OSTI ID:976182

A metallic superconductor, magnesium diboride (MgB{sub 2}), which has a transition temperature of {approx}39 K, was discovered in early 2001. Published data taken at 10 GHz demonstrate that the material has a surface resistance comparable to niobium. This paper discusses the possibility of MgB{sub 2} as compared to Nb and Nb{sub 3}Sn. Also, a possible method of fabricating a MgB{sub 2} cavity using the hot isostatic press (HIP) technique is proposed.
