We measured the radiation tolerance of commercially available diamonds grown by the Chemical Vapor Deposition process by measuring the charge created by a 120 GeV hadron beam in a 50 [Formula: see text] pitch strip detector fabricated on each diamond sample before and after irradiation. We irradiate...

Sumario:We measured the radiation tolerance of commercially available diamonds grown by the Chemical Vapor Deposition process by measuring the charge created by a 120 GeV hadron beam in a 50 [Formula: see text] pitch strip detector fabricated on each diamond sample before and after irradiation. We irradiated one group of samples with 70 MeV protons, a second group of samples with fast reactor neutrons (defined as energy greater than [Formula: see text] MeV), and a third group of samples with 200 MeV pions, in steps, to ([Formula: see text]) × 10(15) protons/cm(2), ([Formula: see text]) × 10(16) neutrons/cm(2), and ([Formula: see text]) × 10(14) pions/cm(2), respectively. By observing the charge induced due to the separation of electron–hole pairs created by the passage of the hadron beam through each sample, on an event-by-event basis, as a function of irradiation fluence, we conclude all datasets can be described by a first-order damage equation and independently calculate the damage constant for 70 MeV protons, fast reactor neutrons, and 200 MeV pions. We find the damage constant for diamond irradiated with 70 MeV protons to be [Formula: see text] 10(−18) cm(2) [Formula: see text] , the damage constant for diamond irradiated with fast reactor neutrons to be [Formula: see text] 10(−18) cm(2) [Formula: see text] , and the damage constant for diamond irradiated with 200 MeV pions to be [Formula: see text] 10(−18) cm(2) [Formula: see text]. The damage constants from this measurement were analyzed together with our previously published 24 GeV proton irradiation and 800 MeV proton irradiation damage constant data to derive the first comprehensive set of relative damage constants for Chemical Vapor Deposition diamond. We find 70 MeV protons are 2.60 ± 0.29 times more damaging than 24 GeV protons, fast reactor neutrons are 4.3 ± 0.4 times more damaging than 24 GeV protons, and 200 MeV pions are 3.2 ± 0.8 more damaging than 24 GeV protons. We also observe the measured data can be described by a universal damage curve for all proton, neutron, and pion irradiations we performed of Chemical Vapor Deposition diamond. Finally, we confirm the spatial uniformity of the collected charge increases with fluence for polycrystalline Chemical Vapor Deposition diamond, and this effect can also be described by a universal curve.
