Abstract
We perform a numeric study of the flux transitions in a superconducting ring at fixed temperature, while the applied field is swept at an ideally slow rate. The current around the ring and its free energy are evaluated. We partially explain some of the known experimental features, and predict a considerably large new feature: in the vicinity of a critical field, giant jumps are expected.
