Hao Group on Beam Physics

My research group focuses on in-depth understandings of accelerator physics. Our goal is to find elegant approaches to achieve a high-intensity and/or high-quality beam of charged particles in an accelerator. Such a beam provides a powerful tool in various fields, such as colliders or fix target accelerators for high energy/nuclear physics research, acclerator based light source for condensed matter physics, biology and chemistry, and medical or industrial applications.

The main approach of my group is the theoretical analysis,the corresponding computer simulation and data driven approaches. For example, we are interested in novel methods to understand and optimize nonlinear dynamics properties without tracking, in developing new computation tools to utilize new mathematical tools such as auto-differentiation and new hardware architecture, and also new approaches to merge the physical and data-driven approaches for advancing accelerator physics and operation efficiency.
