Description
Future medical ion beam applications for cancer therapy will require
advanced beam diagnostics equipment. For a precise analysis of beam
parameters a time resolution in the range of microseconds to nanoseconds
is desirable. A prototype of an advanced beam monitor was developed by the
University of Applied Sciences Wiener Neustadt and its research subsidiary
Fotec in co-operation with CERN RD42, Ohio State University and the Joˇzef
Stefan Institute in Ljubljana. The detector is based on polycrystalline
Chemical Vapour Deposition (pCVD) diamond substrates and is equipped
with read-out electronics up to 2 GHz analog bandwidth. In this paper we
present the design of the pCVD-detector system and results of tests
performed in various particle accelerator based facilities.
