Abstract:  

Superconductors are commonly used at Jefferson Laboratory. The accelerator is famous 
for its superconducting cavities and several large superconducting magnet are being 
used in the different experimental halls.There have always been an ongoing research 
on superconducting electronics which can greatly benefit the potential speed of the 
devices taking advantage of the absence of resistivity. Another application of 
superconductors is superconductor based detectors. Depending on the detector design 
one could build highly sensitive device or very fast. I will go over those different 
applications and summarize their current status and performances. I will also discuss 
the possibility of developing such devices at Jefferson Laboratory: niobium processing 
how the laboratory could benefit of the high rate capability and high resolution of 
such detectors.
