Description

We present an innovative charge detector designed with high resolution and a wide dynamic range to fulfill ion beam monitoring requirements. The detector prototype, constructed using HERD Si photodiodes and Calo PD readout electronics, underwent rigorous testing during HERD and AMS beam tests at CERN SPS facilities. Initial testing showcased the detector's exceptional performance, emphasizing both high resolution and a dynamic range capable of measuring nuclei with atomic numbers ranging from 1 to 80. The prototype's compatibility with fast, practically real-time data analysis positions it as an ideal candidate for online applications. This presentation will unveil the results from the prototype's testing phase, highlighting its capabilities and performance metrics. It will delve into ongoing detector development, exploring potential applications, and discussions will extend to future development pathways and refinements aimed at enhancing the detector's functionality and versatility.
