Abstract
Transparent X-ray Beam Position Monitor (XBPM) has been specifically developed for low energy X-ray beamlines (1.4 keV < E < 5 keV) allowing to transmit more than 80% of 2 keV energy beam. The detector is based on a free-standing single crystal CVD diamond membrane of 4 μm thickness with position-sensitive DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) resistive electrodes in duo-lateral configuration. The measured X-ray beam induced current (XBIC) due to the interaction of X-rays with diamond membrane allows precise monitoring of the absolute beam flux and the beam position (by the reconstruction of its center-of-gravity) at beam transmissions reaching 95%. This detector has been installed at SOLEIL synchrotron on the SIRIUS beamline monochromator output and it has shown charge collection efficiency (CCE) reaching 100% with no lag-effects and excellent beam intensity sensitivity monitoring. X-ray beam mapping of the detector showed an XBIC response inhomogeneity of less than 10% across the membrane, corresponding mainly to the measured variation of the diamond plate thickness. The measured beam position resolution is at sub-micron level depending on the beam flux and the readout electronics bandwidth.
