Radiation Monitoring with CVD Diamonds and PIN Diodes at BaBar
نویسندگان
چکیده
The BaBar experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center has been using two polycrystalline chemical vapor deposition (pCVD) diamonds and 12 silicon PIN diodes for radiation monitoring and protection of the Silicon Vertex Tracker (SVT). We have used the pCVD diamonds for more than 3 years, and the PIN diodes for 7 years. We will describe the SVT and SVT radiation monitoring system as well as the operational difficulties and radiation damage effects on the PIN diodes and pCVD diamonds in a high energy physics environment.

CVD Diamonds in the BaBar Radiation Monitoring System
To prevent excessive radiation damage to its Silicon Vertex Tracker, the BaBar experiment at SLAC uses a radiation monitoring and protection system that triggers a beam abort whenever radiation levels are anomalously high. The existing system, which employs large area Si PIN diodes as radiation sensors, has become increasingly difficult to operate due to radiation damage. We have studied CVD di...
متن کاملPIN Photodiodes for Radiation Monitoring and Protection in the BaBar Silicon Vertex Tracker
We discuss the design, implementation and performance of the radiation monitoring and protection system used by the Silicon Vertex Tracker (SVT) in the BaBar detector. Using 12 reverse-biased PIN photodiodes mounted around the beampipe near the IP, we are able to provide instantaneous radiation dose rates, absorbed dose integrals, and active protection that aborts the circulating beams in the P...
متن کاملCVD diamond detectors as dosimeters for radiotherapy
The use of diamonds detectors in radiotherapy and its potential advantages over silicon diodes and ionisation chambers is reviewed. Preliminary results on the performance of CVD diamond detectors in an X-ray beam will be presented. While the devices are sufficiently sensitive, applications as dosimeters are at present limited by time dependent effects. Prospects for further work are described. ...
متن کاملComplementary Split Ring Resonator Effects on Radiation Pattern Reconfigurable Circular Microstrip Antennas
In this study, a radiation pattern reconfigurable microstrip antenna is designed and fabricated. The antenna’s radiation pattern is directed in 9 different angles by employing a radiating patch and embedding complementary split ring resonators (CSRR) on the ground plane. The radiating patch is of circular shape, while for CSRR elements both circular and rectangular shapes are investigated. The ...
متن کاملSingle-crystal CVD diamonds as small-angle X-ray scattering windows for high-pressure research.
Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) was performed on single-crystal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamonds with low nitrogen concentrations, which were fabricated by microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition at high growth rates. High optical quality undoped 500 µm-thick single-crystal CVD diamonds grown without intentional nitrogen addition proved to be excellent as windows on SAXS...
