  "main_findings": "An experimental approach measured Hc3 on each side of a single-crystal YB6 sample as a function of the angle between a tilted dc magnetic field and the surface. The ratio Hc3/Hc2 was approximately 1.28 when the dc field was perpendicular to the surface, differing from the expected theoretical value of 1; this discrepancy was not attributed to surface roughness.",
