Description
With the first three years of the LHC running complete, ATLAS and CMS
are planning to upgrade their innermost tracking layers with more
radiation hard technologies. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) diamond
is one such technology. CVD diamond has been used extensively in beam
condition monitors as the innermost detectors in the highest radiation
areas of BaBar, Belle, CDF and all LHC experiments. This talk will
describe the lessons learned in constructing the ATLAS Beam Conditions
Monitor (BCM), Diamond Beam Monitor (DBM) and the CMS Pixel Luminosity
Telescope (PLT) all of which are based on CVD diamond with the goal of
elucidating the issues that should be addressed for future diamond based
detector systems. The talk will also present the first beam test results
of prototype diamond devices with 3D detector geometry that should further
enhance the radiation tolerance of this material.
