It has been argued by Zurek and Kibble that the likelihood of producing defects in a continuous phase transition depends in a characteristic way on the quench rate. In this paper we discuss our experiment for measuring the Zurek-Kibble scaling exponent σ for the production of fluxons in annular symmetric Josephson Tunnel Junctions. The predicted exponent is % σ=0.25, and we find σ=0.27± 0.05. Further, there is agreement with the ZK prediction for the overall normalisation.
