Life

Between 1950–1958 he attended the

solids
at low temperatures. He participated in the discovery of the Lazarus effect[5] (1997), which consists in the functional recovery of the silicon detectors exposed to heavy radiation. On 1 March 2004 he was appointed professor at the University of Bern. From 2006 to 2009 he worked at the Laboratory for High Energy Physics on the design and installation of a central liquid argon system. Additionally he was deeply involved in the construction of cryostats with high vacuum systems for time projection chambers and design of so-called Argontube to study very long (a few meters) electron drifts in liquid argon.[6][7] He retired on 1 February 2009.

Awards

In 1988 he was the co-recipient of the Prize of Slovak Academy of Sciences for the applications of point-contact spectroscopy below 1K. In 2003 he was awarded Dionýz Ilkovič Honorary Badge of the Slovak Academy of Sciences for his achievements in low temperature physics and for the development of superconducting detectors for particle physics. In 2009 he was awarded the Gold Medal of the Faculty of Science of the Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Kosice for his contribution to the development of the faculty, the establishment of the Low Temperature Laboratory and for his efforts in education. At the occasion of the 40-th anniversary of the Institute of Experimental Physics SAS in Kosice, he obtained the Gold Badge for his contributions to the scientific development of the Institute of Experimental Physics, SAS. Stefan Janos is honorary member of the Slovak Physical Society.
