Poster prize for Christian Schlaier at ANP conference, Greece

Our master’s student, Christian Schlaier, was awarded a poster prize at the ANP conference in Thessaloniki for his contribution titled "First 127,129 Iodine Measurements at Cologne AMS."

Our master’s student, Christian Schlaier, was awarded a poster prize at the ANP conference in Thessaloniki for his contribution titled "First ^127,129Iodine Measurements at Cologne AMS." His research is part of the CRC1211 project, "Evolution at the Dry Limit," and focuses on studying fog patterns in the Atacama Desert, one of the driest regions on Earth. The fog contains elevated levels of the unstable rare isotope ¹²⁹I, attributed to nuclear bomb tests in the South Pacific. Using AMS (Accelerator Mass Spectrometry), Christian achieved precise measurements of extremely small isotope ratios of ^127,129I, reaching down to the scale of 10^-13. His abstract can be read here. Great work, Christian!
