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,...

Three-dimensional (3D) diamond detectors fabricated on high quality single-crystal CVD (scCVD) material show remarkable properties as 100% charge collection efficiency at electric fields as low as 0.04 V/$\mu$m. However polycrystalline CVD diamond (pCVD) is much more easily available with lower cost and larger areas. Hence the implementation of the 3D detector concept with pCVD diamond...

3D diamond detectors are at present investigated as they offer a superior radiation hardness with respect to planar detectors, promising to be the radiation hardest detector ever. Conductive channels are fabricated in the material by means of induced pulsed laser graphitization. The best characteristics are obtained by employing pulse durations as short as tens of femtoseconds. However a...

Progress in experimental particle physics in the coming decade depends crucially upon the ability to carry out experiments at high energies and high luminosities. These two conditions imply that future experiments will take place in very high radiation areas. In order to perform these complex and perhaps expensive experiments new radiation hard...

A new type of device, the MAPS-on-Diamond, obtained bonding a thinned Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor (a RAPS03 thinned to 25 micrometers) to a standard 500 micrometer pCVD diamond substrate has been fabricated, allowing a highly segmented readout (10x10 micrometer pixel size) of the signal produced in...
