معرفی
Alfons Khoukaz serves as Associate Professor of Physics and Academic Director at the Institute of Nuclear Physics, University of Münster, specializing in advanced target systems for particle accelerator experiments.
Education background:
- Doctorate in Physics, University of Münster (1996)
- Venia Legendi (Habilitation) in Physics, University of Münster (2002)
- Visiting Scientist, Uppsala University (1997)
His research centers on hadron physics and exotic particle states using storage rings and electron-positron colliders, with significant focus on developing cryogenic gas-jet, cluster-jet, and frozen pellet/filament targets. These innovations address critical vacuum requirements for scattering experiments at facilities like MESA and FAIR, enabling windowless targets with adjustable density for next-generation accelerator physics.
While specific student advisement details are unreported, his research group actively contributes to international collaborations including the MAGIX experiment at MESA and PANDA at FAIR. His team leads jet target development efforts for high-power laser facilities and lepton-hadron colliders, securing experimental capabilities for precision measurements in nuclear physics.
The group maintains specialized laboratories for target system engineering, focusing on real-time monitoring and performance optimization of cryogenic targets under extreme accelerator conditions.
