Diamond Detectors as Beam Monitors
نویسندگان
چکیده
CVD diamond particle detectors are already in use in the CERN experiments ATLAS, CMS, LHCb and ALICE and at various particle accelerator laboratories in USA and Japan. This is a proven technology with high radiation tolerance and very fast signal read-out [1]. It can be used for measuring single-particles as well as for high-intensity particle cascades, for timing measurements on the nanosecond scale and for beam protection systems. The radiation tolerance is specified with 10 MGy.

Pulse-resolved intensity measurements at a hard X-ray FEL using semi-transparent diamond detectors.
Solid-state ionization chambers are presented based on thin diamond crystals that allow pulse-resolved intensity measurements at a hard X-ray free-electron laser (FEL), up to the 4.5 MHz repetition rate that will become available at the European XFEL. Due to the small X-ray absorption of diamond the thin detectors are semi-transparent which eases their use as non-invasive monitoring devices in ...
متن کاملNew Electron Beam Diagnostics in the Flash Dump Line
Additional beam diagnostics has been installed in the dump line at FLASH in 2009. Its purpose is to prevent damage by long high current electron beam pulses, as happened in autumn 2008, when a vacuum leak occurred near the dump vacuum window. Beam position monitors (BPM), scintillator-based loss monitors and temperature sensors were installed so-far. Additional BPMs and loss monitors have meanw...
متن کاملDiamonds as timing detectors for MIPS: The HADES proton-beam monitor and start detectors
Diamond detectors are well known for their radiation hardness and high drift speeds of both electron and holes making them ideal as start detectors placed in the beam. However, due to the large effective energy needed to create electron hole pairs (13 eV) the charge created by minimum ionizing particles (MIPS) traversing the diamond is marginal (8000 pairs for a 300 μm thick diamond) [1]. In th...
متن کاملBeam Halo Monitor Using Diamond Detectors for Xfel/spring-8
We have been developing an electron beam halo monitor as an interlock device for protection of undulator permanent magnets against radiation damage. When permanent magnets are irradiated with a halo part of 8GeV electron beam, magnetic fields undulators are degraded permanently and laser oscillation is weakened. Therefore, the interlock device is required during machine operation. Diamond detec...
متن کاملDosimetric characteristics of active solid state detectors in a 60 MeV proton radiotherapy beam
The solid state active detectors, widely used for conventional radiotherapy, such as diamond detectors (DD) and diodes may be attractive tools also in dosimetry of therapeutic proton beams. Diodes are broadly applied in oncology clinics and routinely used for in-vivo dosimetry [1, 8]. These real-time detectors are rugged, relatively inexpensive and provide on-line readings, what allows for quic...
