Electromagnetic Radiation Hardness of Diamond Detectors
نویسنده
چکیده
The behavior of artificially grown CVD diamond films under intense electromagnetic radiation has been studied. The properties of irradiated diamond samples have been investigated using the method of thermally stimulated current and by studying their charge collection properties. Diamonds have been found to remain unaffected after doses of 6.8 MGy of 10 keV photons and 10 MGy of MeV-range photons. This observation makes diamond an attractive detector material for a calorimeter in the very forward region of the proposed TESLA detector. (To be submitted to Nucl. Instr. and Meth.)

Diamonds 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 کاملUnfolding of neutron spectra with an experimentally determined diamond detector response function
Radiation detectors made from artificial chemical vapor deposition (CVD) single crystal diamond have shown great potential for neutron spectrometry. The detectors are small, typically about (5 × 5 × 0.5) mm, they are not very sensitive to gamma radiation, and they have good radiation hardness properties. They are, therefore, very promising candidates for applications where high resolution neutr...

We report on the behavior of CVD diamonds under intense electromagnetic radiation and on the response of the detector to high density of deposited energy. Diamonds have been found to remain unaffected after doses of 10 MGy of MeV-range photons and the diamond response to energy depositions of up to 250 GeV / cm 3 has been found to be linear to better than 2 %. These observations make diamond an...
متن کاملElectrical and Photo Conductivities in Heteroepitaxial Quasi Single-Crystal CVD-Diamond Detectors
The properties of CVD Diamond (CVDD) detectors such as high mobility of charge carriers, radiation hardness, and low dark conductivity provide a detector material, which is suggested to be applied in high intensity heavy-ion beam environments where classical detector devices cannot be operated [1]. In the future FAIR experiments radiation-hard materials with large area will be required for a va...
