Description
The physicists working at CERN, in particularly with the LHC high-luminosity upgrade plans, showed great interest in the diamond detector technology in recent years. The applications which have stimulated greater interest are the ones connected to the use of the detector close to particle beams, therefore in an environment with high radiation level (beam monitor, luminosity measurement, detection of primary and secondary-interaction vertices).
Our aims is to extend the studies performed so far by developing the technical advances which are needed to prove the competitiveness of this technology in terms of time resolution, with respect to more usual ones, such as Cherenkov radiator coupled to a MultiChannelPlate, which does not guarantee the required performances and working stability in the presence of high integrated radiation doses.
Summary
Measurements of diamond detector time resolution with tracks incident at different angles are discussed. In particularly,preliminary testbeam results obtained with 5 GeV electrons and polycrystalline diamond strip detectors are shown.
