Abstract
The complete sequence of 1060 eigenmodes with frequencies between 0.75 and 17.5 GHz of a quasi-two-dimensional superconducting microwave resonator shaped like a quarter of a stadium billiard with a Q value of Q≊ was measured for the first time. The semiclassical analysis is in good agreement with the experimental data, and provides a new scheme for the statistical analysis and comparison with predictions based on the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble.
