The effect of oxygen doping on the critical depining current density, Jc1, was measured in a series of high quality c-axis oriented Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ thin films. For each doping level we measured the temperature dependence of Jc1. We find that all samples have the same temperature dependence but the critical current at zero temperature,Jc1(0), has a non trivial doping dependence with a maximum at a unique doping level in the overdope side of the superconducting dome.
