Superconducting Niobium RF cavities for particle acceleration operate near the limit of their electrical current carrying capacity. A goal of CAPST research is to determine the factors limiting their performance and to provide ideas and criteria for next generation superconducting RF cavities for particle acceleration. CAPST research is a multi-disciplinary approach to achieve a fundamental understanding of the physical, chemical and structural mechanisms responsible for dissipation of electrical currents in SRF cavities.
