Solid state detectors are used in high energy accelerators to identify the collision products that result from the interaction of fundamental particles. Man-made diamonds, prepared by chemical vapor deposition, exhibit a number of extreme properties that make it an excellent candidate material for… More

Charged particle accelerators are key tools in the study of the fundamental properties of matter and energy. Although accelerators can cost billions of dollars, they are only as effective as the detectors in them. Man-made diamond has exhibited potential as a relatively new detector material. Its… More

Charged particle accelerators are important tools in the study of the fundamental properties of matter and energy. The accelerators often cost billions of dollars but are only as effective as the detectors in them. Man made CVD (chemical vapor deposition) diamond combines unusual radiation hardness… More

Charged particles accelerators are important tools in the study of fundamental properties of matter and energy. The accelerators often cost billions of dollars; yet, they are only as effective as the detectors in them. Man made (CVD) diamond combines unusual radiation hardness with the ultimate in… More

Recently, CTS Inc achieved near state of the art performance of diamond detectors in both single crystal and polycrystalline forms. In this proposal, we develop microwave plasma CVD deposition methods targeting commercially viable diamond detectors by addressing both detector performance and… More
