Anton leads the Neutron Detector R&D and detector design efforts for the Second Target Station (STS), including the implementation and design of the detector and beam monitor systems for the 8 neutron scattering instruments in the construction scope of the STS Project, as well as the R&D required for these detectors.
Anton is a detector scientist with 12 years experience in neutron detectors and a background in gamma and charged particle detectors for nuclear structure and astrophysics. Anton joined the STS in 2020 and has since then formulated the detector strategy and the detector R&D plan for the STS. He is currently engaged in developing neutron-sensitive Anger cameras, MCPs and scintillators readout by Timepix ASICs, compact He-3 detectors and neutron beam monitors.
Previously, Anton worked at the European Spallation Source (ESS), Sweden, and Institute Laue Langevin (ILL), France, on development of neutron detectors based on boron-10 and has also worked on preparation for commissioning, shielding and utilities for neutron scattering instruments at the ESS. Anton has a PhD degree from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden.
