Back to Who is who in neutrons

	Dr. Peter Michael ALLENSPACH Where are you from? Frauenfeld (Switzerland) Some personal data... your hobbies? I did a lot of track and fields in the past, but today I'm only active as a starter. I'm responsible for all starters and their education and assignment to the different track and field events for Eastern and Northern Switzerland (one of the three Swiss regions). I'm also a member of the starter team of The Golden League meeting "Weltklasse Zurich" . My active sport is sailing mostly together with my son on our 505 racing-dinghy.
	Post-graduate Studies and Degrees Study of physics at Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETHZ) PhD thesis supervised by Prof. A. Furrer (Laboratory for Neutron Scattering), under the auspices of Prof. P. Wachter, "Neutronenspektroskopische Untersuchung von Hochtemperatursupraleitern" Postdoc with Prof. M. B. Maple at the Institute for Pure and Applied Physical Sciences, University of California at San Diego, La Jolla, USA
PSI	Working at the Laboratory for Neutron Scattering Research associate at the Laboratory for Neutron Scattering ETHZ & PSI - Head of "Laboratory for Developments and Methods" at PSI Villigen
Swiss Neutronics	Peter the entrepreneur He was co-founder of SwissNeutronics and since 1999 he is board member of the company. SwissNeutronics was founded in 1999 as a spin-off company of the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) in Villigen, Switzerland. The main field of activity of SwissNeutronics lies in the field of optical equipment for neutron and synchrotron sources, but they also serve industry customers in need of specially designed coatings.
ENSA Web page	Working for the European users community From 1997 - 2002 Peter Allenspach was Assistant Secretary of ENSA. ENSA, the European Neutron Scattering Association, is an affiliation of the national neutron scattering societies which directly represent neutron beam users. Since 2002, he is the Swiss delegate representing the Swiss user community within the European association.
ESS	Designing the European Spallation Source As member of the Instrumentation Working Group of the European Spallation Source (ESS) Peter Allenspach contributed to the development of new instrumentation concepts for the most powerful neutron source ever projected. He worked on the performance of "indirect geometry spectrometers".
Swiss Society for Neutron Scattering	Working for the Swiss Neutron user community Since 2004 he is the President of the Swiss Society for Neutron Scattering (SGN/SSDN), one of the representatives of the neutron scatterers in Switzerland. They work on: - advancement of neutron scattering - support of young scientists - exchange of scientific ideas - cultivation of interdisciplinary relations - relations to international associations - support of optimum access to national and international neutron sources
