Dr. Amos Dexter serves as a Senior Lecturer in the School of Engineering at Lancaster University, specializing in advanced accelerator technologies and plasma applications. His institutional affiliation includes the Cockcroft Institute and the RF Engineering of Accelerators at Lancaster (REAL) research group, positioning him at the forefront of particle accelerator research in the UK.
His research spans critical areas of modern accelerator physics including:
- Plasma wakefield acceleration techniques
- Low Level Radio Frequency (LLRF) systems for high-power facilities
- Microwave plasma furnace development for industrial applications
- Plasma torch optimization
- Klystron technology and cavity synchronization systems
Dexter's scholarly output demonstrates consistent contribution to high-energy physics, with his most recent 2025 publication in Physical Review Letters examining ion dynamics in resonantly driven plasma wakefields. This work aligns with his broader research trajectory investigating novel acceleration mechanisms that could dramatically reduce the size and cost of future particle accelerators.
His active grant portfolio reveals substantial leadership in major research initiatives:
- Cockcroft Core Grant (2025-2028) - ongoing leadership in national accelerator infrastructure
- Novel microwave plasma furnace project (2024-2027) - developing industrial processing technology
- AWAKE collaboration (2021-2027) - contributing to CERN's advanced accelerator R&D program
- Multiple Cockcroft Institute phases (2018-2025) - sustained involvement in UK's premier accelerator research center
Dexter maintains strong collaborative ties through the Cockcroft Institute RF Engineering of Accelerators at Lancaster (REAL) group, which serves as his primary research home. This group focuses on developing cutting-edge RF technologies for linear colliders and other high-gradient accelerator applications, positioning Lancaster University as a significant player in international accelerator science.
