Abstract
A chemical vapour deposition (CVD) diamond film detector was prepared and the main characteristics for pulsed proton detection were studied at Beijing Tandem Accelerator. The result shows that the charge collection efficiency of the detector increases with increasing electric field intensity and reaches to 9.44% at 5 V/μm with the charge collection distance of 15.9 μm. The relationship between the sensitivity of the detector and proton energy is consistent with the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation result. Its plasma time for a pulse with 4.85×105 protons is 11.2ns. The dose threshold for onset of damage under 9MeV proton irradiation in the detector is about 1013 cm−2. All of the results show that a CVD diamond detector has fast time response and high radiation hardness, and can be used in pulsed proton detection.
