Diffusion Bonding: Diamond can be bonded to metal GND HV+Signal Metallization Target (Xenon, 14 bar) Beam Beampipe (Vacuum) Diffusion Bonding Diamond (300um) Flange Contact
Simple sensor design proven in beam Solderpin for cable Vacuumwindow Diamond diffusion bonded in metal vacuum flange diamond • Advantages: • no hybrid needed • radiation hard • mechanically robust • Al-metallization done without • masks • Guard ring = diffusion bond signal 1 cm [V] Left: signals from cyclotron showing the 26 MHz bunches. Each bunch has about 106 protons, so the signal can be directly displayed on the scope without amplifier, even with 10m cable. Width given by spread in bunches 40 ns [ns]
LHC beam loss and background Monitoring at CMS BCM1 IP BCM2 “heat spreader” CVD diamond radhard tunnelcard LHC ionization chambers for beam loss monitoring Beam loss at KA cyclotron

ADC values CFC Card – working principle Principle: after reset: C is discharged with detector current. To continuously check the card an additional current source of 10 pA discharges as well, so at least every 20s a trigger will be given to a counter indicating that C was discharged below the threshold. Every 40 us the counter on the board is readout telling how many times the capacitor was discharged, which is a measure of the sensor current. Additionally an ADC converts the integrator voltages into digital values which can be used to calculate the slope of the discharge and therefore the current, this is important for low detector currents.

BCM at LHC is done by roundabout 3700 gas ionization chambers which are placed round the ring if their signal gets too large a beam dump is requested to prevent a quenching of the superconducting magnets or damage on the machinery there is no space inside the 4 caverns for this chambers, so another solution was needed to monitor the beam without interruption For CMS this is the BeamRadiationMonitoring System consisting of 6 subsystems of which 3 are diamond based and places inside the CMS detector BCM2 consists of 16 (opt 32) pCVD diamonds, which are placed near the beam pipe the readout of BCM2 is solely based on the same electronics as the gas ionization chambers, so the data is immediately available via the LHC software Beam Condition Monitoring at LHC
