Julien Bergoz, Bergoz Instrumentation,   presenting the Faraday Cup Award to Andreas Peters with Bob Hettel of SLAC looking on.

 

 

Andreas Peters of GSI won the award for the developement of a detector to measure nano-Ampere DC beam currents, the Cryogenic Current Comparator..

A nano-Ampere DC current can be measured by comparing it to a known current when both are passed through a cryogenic cylinder. The resulting currents genererated on the tube surface may be measured with a SQUID.
