Abstract MuSR is a powerful tool to probe local magnetism and hence can be used to diagnose flux penetration in Type-II superconductors. Samples produced at TRIUMF and with collaborators in both coin shaped and ellipsoidal geometries have been characterized by applying either transverse or parallel fields between 0 and 300mT and measuring flux entry as a function of applied field. Samples include Nb treated in standard ways including forming, chemistry, and heat treatments. Further, Nb samples have been doped with Nitrogen and coated with a 2 micron layer of Nb3Sn by collaborators from FNAL and Cornell respectively and measured in three field/geometry configurations. Analysis of the method in particular the effects of geometry and the role of pinning will be presented. Results of the measurements will be presented.
