Engineer Anthony Braido, who works at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE), received the 2025 Early Career Award at the International Conference on Accelerator and Large Experimental Physics Control Systems. This biennial award recognizes individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the field of control and data acquisition systems during the early stages of their career.

About Braido:

  • Led the redesign of LANSCE’s beam chopper pattern generator, which sends properly time-structured beam to four of the accelerator facility’s five experimental areas.
  • Led the effort to upgrade the 201.25 MHz LANSCE beam position monitor phase reference distribution system, allowing LANSCE operations to quickly determine if and where accelerator tune shifts have occurred in the 805 MHz accelerating modules, resulting in improved beam delivery to users.
  • Earned a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Nevada, Reno.

About LANSCE: 

  • As the major experimental science facility at Los Alamos, LANSCE serves U.S. Department of Energy and National Nuclear Security Administration missions.
  • The national user facility is one of the nation’s most powerful linear accelerators. 
  • The half-mile-long accelerator is unique because of the intensity and energy spectrum of the neutrons it produces.
