Radiation Hardness and Linearity Studies of CVD Diamonds
We report on the behavior of CVD diamonds under intense electromagnetic
radiation and on the response of the detector to high density of deposited
energy. Diamonds have been found to remain unaffected after doses of 10 MGy of
MeV-range photons and the diamond response to energy depositions of up to 250
GeV/cm^3 has been found to be linear to better than 2 %. These observations
make diamond an attractive detector material for a calorimeter in the very
forward region of the detector proposed for TESLA.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures; Proceeding for the topical Seminar on Innovative
