A Three-Fluid Model of Dissipation at Surfaces in Superconducting Radiofrequency Cavities

Matthias Liepe Michelle M. Kelley, Sean Deyo, Nathan Sitaraman +4

Experiments on superconducting cavities have found that under large RF fields the quality factor can improve with increasing field amplitude, a so-called ``anti-Q slope.'' We numer…
