Anton Wallner

Anton Wallner is the Head of the Department of Accelerator Mass Spectrometry and Isotope Research at HZDR. Major research areas at this department are nuclear astrophysics, geological applications and environmental research including the measurement of ultra-low levels of natural and anthropogenic isotopic signatures.

Anton plans to continue contributing to the Metrology program of the Centre, in particular with AMS measurements of radioimpurities in dark matter detector materials. AMS is able to study the extremely low levels of radioactivity in ultra-high purity detector materials that need to be characterised for dark matter studies and for other low-background measurements.
