Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāAbstract Being an excellent radiation hard material, diamond is preferred as an ionizing radiation sensor in radiation harsh environments. In this study, radiation damage from a beam of 67.5 MeV protons at the Crocker Nuclear Laboratory on the campus of the University of California, Davis, was used to determine exposure lifetime in detectors made from a thinned (ā¼ 40 Ī¼ m) monocrystalline CVD (chemical vapor deposition) diamond substrate. The sensor response was sampled in real time as the sensor was exposed to a total fluence of ā¼ 4Ć10 16 / cm 2 , yielding an overall damage constant of k = (3.3 Ā± 0.3) Ć 10 -18 cm 2 / p - Ī¼ m. Damage levels were later confirmed using a non-destructive x-ray technique at the LINAC Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Results are presented on the real-time degradation of the charge collection efficiency as a function of proton fluence.
