Detector R&D

Harsh environments such as related to ionizing radiation and high temperature conditions can seriously degrade electronic devices. For example, their levels in next-generation fusion reactors, such as ITER, can severely compromise or even cause permanent failure of many key diagnostics devices that are presently used in D-D magnetically-confined fusion plasma devices. Therefore, expected...
Detectors based on Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) diamond have been used successfully in beam conditions monitors in the highest radiation areas of the LHC. Future experiments at CERN will accumulate an order of magnitude larger fluence. As a result, an enormous effort is underway to identify detector materials that can operate after fluences of 10^{16}/cm^2 and 10^{17}/cm^2.
Diamond is...
