Diamond-based detector development for pulsed beam monitoring for medical applications

Development of new generations of ion accelerators: •medical applications: hadrontherapy, X-ray or synchrotron radiation therapy and flash therapy very precise monitoring of the beam with rapid counting in a high lyradiative environment. The intrinsic qualities of diamond: •speed, low leakage current, excellent SNR, resistance to radiation an excellent candidate to meet such monitoring requirements over a wide dynamic range from a fraction of pA (single particle) up to μA.
