Description
CVD diamond particle detectors are presently in use in the CERN experiments ATLAS, CMS, LHCb and ALICE and at particle accelerator laboratories in USA and Japan. This is a proven technology with very fast signal read-out and a very high radiation tolerance suitable for measurements in high radiation environment zones.
The properties of CVD diamonds make them a prime candidate for measuring single particles as well as high-intensity particle cascades, for timing measurements on the nanosecond scale and for beam protection systems in hostile environments like regions near the beam pipe.
A Polycrystalline CVD and a single-crystalline CVD diamond sensors, read out with a new generation of fast and high bandwidth SiGe bipolar transistor amplifiers, have been tested for possible applications as radiation monitor and as luminometer for the Super-B project.
Test results with 5.5 MeV alpha particles from a $^{241}$Am radioactive source and from electrons from a $^{90}$Sr radioactive source are presented.
