معرفی
Guoxing Xia is a Senior Lecturer in Accelerator Physics at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Manchester, and an academic staff member at the Cockcroft Institute. He leads research on advanced acceleration techniques, including plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA), laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA), and proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration (AWAKE). His work focuses on collaborations with CERN, DESY, and other institutions on projects like the CERN AWAKE experiment and the EuPRAXIA design study. Key areas include dielectric wakefield acceleration, ultra-cold plasma research, and applications of nano-materials like graphene in particle accelerators. He actively supervises PhD students, offering access to funding via STFC, EPSRC, and the Chinese Scholarship Council (CSC).
Research interests span plasma physics, beam dynamics, and accelerator instrumentation. Notable projects include studies at Daresbury Laboratory’s VELA/CLARA facilities and CERN’s CLEAR facility. His group explores novel radiation sources and low secondary electron yield coatings using graphene. He also contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals through advanced accelerator technologies.
Recent experimental work includes ion motion studies in plasma wakefields, bunch length monitoring via Cherenkov radiation, and optimization of laser-driven acceleration using Bayesian methods. His team has published extensively on topics like carbon nanotube-based accelerators and plasmonic excitations in graphene. Collaborations span global institutions, reflecting his role in shaping next-generation accelerator science.
