Response to comment on theoretical RF field limits of multilayer coating structures of superconducting resonator cavities

TL;DR

This paper refutes a recent comment on the authors' previous theoretical work regarding RF field limits in multilayer superconducting resonator coatings, reaffirming the validity of their original analysis.

Contribution

The authors provide a detailed rebuttal demonstrating that the arguments in the comment are invalid, thus defending their theoretical RF field limit model.

Findings

The comment's arguments are shown to be invalid.

The original theoretical model remains valid.

No new experimental data presented.

Abstract

A comment to the authors' SRF Conference pre-print [1] was submitted by A. Gurevich to the arXiv [2]. In this response, we show that the arguments used in the comment are not valid. [1] arXiv:1309.3239 [2] arXiv:1309.5626
