Irradiation with 3.5 MeV protons creates defects in Ba2YCu3O7−δ, which can act as strong pinning sites, comparable to those produced by neutron irradiation. Indeed protons as well as neutrons undergo momentum‐transferring collisions that result in atomic displacements; the additional electronic proton‐solid interaction does not appear to yield defects which contribute to pinning. Under optimized conditions we have obtained Jc(T→0, H=1 T)∼2×107 A/cm2 in single crystals. At 77 K the value is still Jc∼1.7×105 A/cm2, decreasing only threefold in a field of 6 T. The fluence and temperature dependence of Jc suggest a model, in which spatially uncorrelated defects pin vortex cores.
