Diamond thin Film Detectors for Beam Monitoring Devices
Diamonds offer radiation hard sensors, which can be used directly in primary
beams. Here we report on the use of a polycrystalline CVD diamond strip sensor
as beam monitor of heavy ion beams with up to 2.10^9 lead ions per bunch. The
strips allow for a determination of the transverse beam profile to a fraction
of the pitch of the strips, while the timing information yields the
longitudinal bunch length with a resolution of the order of a few mm.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figures, to appear in the Proceedings of the Hasselt

Lorentz angle measurements in irradiated silicon detectors between 77 K and 300 K
Future experiments are using silicon detectors in a high radiation
environment and in high magnetic fields. The radiation tolerance of silicon
improves by cooling it to temperatures below 180 K. At low temperatures the
mobility increases, which leads to larger deflections of the charge carriers by
the Lorentz force. A good knowledge of the Lorentz angle is needed for design
and operation of silicon detectors. We present measurements of the Lorentz
angle between 77 K and 300 K before and after irradiation with a primary beam
of 21 MeV protons.Comment: 13 pages, 9 figures, submitted to ICHEP2000, Osaka, Japa
