Industry meets Academia: Beam Monitoring Instrumentation and Quality Assurance

At the LHC at CERN diamond detectors are used at the 4 LHC experiments for the condition monitoring of the beams inside the detectors. At the accelerator they are located at different places to monitor losses which synchronised with the beam injection process, the extraction of the beams from the rings and the revolution period. For the event driven monitors the signals are recorded on the...

CVD diamond is a wide band gap material combining the distinct thermal, optical, and electronic properties required for particle and photon detection in extreme conditions. Diamond detectors reveal extreme radiation tolerance and speed while operating at room temperature and visible light. They are capable of single-particle monitoring of primary ion beams in a wide beam intensity range from a...

The report will give an overview of the results obtained in HADES heavy ion experiments with the diamond based detectors. These detectors have been used to measure the reaction time (T0) thus have to cope with very high particle flux, above 10^6 Au ions/sec/mm^2. The T0 measurement is crucial for the particle identification in the HADES spectrometer and intrinsic time resolution better then...
