  1. Polycrystalline CVD Diamonds for the Beam Calorimeter of the ILC C.Grah ILC ECFA 2006 Valencia, 9th November 2006

  2. Contents • Very forward region of the detectors for the International Linear Collider • BeamCal – requirements • Testbeam at CERN • Linearity of the response of CVD diamonds • Testbeam at the TU Darmstadt • Radiation hardness of CVD diamonds • Conclusions C.Grah: CVD Diamonds

  3. Very Forward Region of the ILC Detectors • The purpose of the instrumentation of the very forward region is: • Hermeticity: increase the coverage to polar angles > 5mrad • Optimize Luminosity BeamCal Interaction point • EM calorimeter with sandwich structure: • 30 layers of 1 X0 • 3.5mm W and 0.3mm sensor • Angular coverage from 5mrad to 28 mrad • Moliére radius RM ≈ 1cm • Segmentation between 0.5 and 0.8 x RM LDC C.Grah: CVD Diamonds

  4. The Challenges for BeamCal e+ e- e+ e- γ Interaction γ e- e- e.g. Breit-Wheeler process Creation of beamstrahlung at the ILC • e+e- pairs from beamstrahlung are deflected into the BeamCal • 15000 e+e- per BX => 10 – 20 TeV total energy dep. • ~ 10 MGy per year strongly dependent on the beam and magnetic field configuration => radiation hard sensors • Detect the signature of single high energetic particles on top of the background. => high dynamic range/linearity ≈ 1 MGy/a ≈ 5 MGy/a C.Grah: CVD Diamonds

  5. Polycrystalline Chemical Vapour Deposited Diamonds (courtesy of IAF) • pCVD diamonds are an interesting material: • radiation hardness (e.g. LHC pixel detectors) • advantageous properties like: high mobility, low εR = 5.7, thermal conductivity • availability on wafer scale • Samples from two manufacturers are under investigation: • Element SixTM • Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid-State Physics – IAF • 1 x 1 cm2 • 200-900 μm thick (typical thickness 300μm) • Ti(/Pt)/Au metallization (courtesy of IAF) C.Grah: CVD Diamonds

  8. High Dose Irradiation Superconducting DArmstadt LINear ACcelerator Technical University of Darmstadt • Irradiation up to several MGy using the injector line of the S-DALINAC: 10 ± 0.015 MeV and beam currents from 10 to 100 nA corresponding to about 59 to 590 kGy/h V.Drugakov 2X0 Energy spectrum of shower particles in BeamCal C.Grah: CVD Diamonds

  13. Behaviour after Irradiation No significant change of the current-voltage characteristics up to 1.5 MGy. Slight increase of currents for higher doses. C.Grah: CVD Diamonds

  14. CCD Behaviour after Irradiation ~ -80% ~ -30% after 7 MGy after 1.5 MGy C.Grah: CVD Diamonds

  16. Summary • PCVD diamonds are an interesting material as sensors for the BeamCal. • The linearity of pCVD diamonds up to particle fluences of 106 particles/cm2/10ns is better than 30%. • High dose irradiation using 10MeV electrons shows: • all CVD diamonds stay functional even after absorbing up to 7MGy. • degradation of the signal at high doses and dose rates. • partial recovery of the signal after absorbing additional small doses (~20 Gy). • wide variation of the signal sizes as a function of the absorbed dose is an issue for the use as a sensor for BeamCal. • Started to investigate also other materials (GaAs, SiC) as alternative. • Successfull irradiation-testbeam at the S-DALINAC. We plan to repeat the irradiation with more and other types of sensors next year. http://www-zeuthen.desy.de/ILC/fcal/ C.Grah: CVD Diamonds
