Description

Radiation detectors based on wide-bandgap semiconductors, such
as single-crystal chemical vapor deposition (sCVD) diamond, have gained significant attention due to their versatility and potential for beam monitoring in demanding environments. sCVD diamond detectors, in particular, are promising candidates for high-energy particle physics experiments, beam diagnostics in accelerator facilities, and plasma diagnostics in fusion facilities. These detectors are known for their high radiation hardness and excellent performance at elevated temperatures, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. Quality control of diamond sensors involves optical assessment of defects via microscopy, Transient Current Technique (TCT) for electron and hole movement,and IV-It measurements for dark current profiles. The energy resolution of sCVD diamond detectors, evaluated using alpha spectroscopy, is a reliable method for calibrating newly developed diamond detectors. Furthermore, we experimentally derived the statistical fluctuations in diamond and compared it to the theoretical value.
