Abstract

We have constructed charged particle detectors using high quality CVD diamond. We report here the measurements of a diamond-tungsten sampling calorimeter and a diamond mustrip detector. The energy response and resolution ( σE E) of the calorimeter were measured using an electron beam of energy 0.5 to 5.0 GeV, and compared with those from a silicon calorimeter of similar construction. We find σE E = (4.7 ± 2.7)%/E ⊕ (19.13 ± 0.86)%/√E ⊕ (2.3 ± 1.8)% for the diamond-tungsten calorimeter, where ⊕ indicates addition in quadrature, which is in good agreement with our result of σE/E = (3.89 ± 0.87)%/E ⊕ (19.73 ± 0.19)%/√E ⊕ (0.0 ± 1.6)% for the silicon-tungsten calorimeter. The CVD diamond mustrip detector consists of 50 μm wide strips on 100 μm centers. A signal-to-noise ratio of 6: 1 and a position resolution of 25 μm was observed during recent accelerator tests.
