Abstract
Diamond is a nearly ideal material for detecting ionizing radiation. I ts outstanding radiation hardness, fast charge collection, and low lea kage current allow a diamond detector to be used in high-radiation hig h-temperature and aggressive chemical environments. We report here the results of recent beam tests of chemical-vapor-deposited diamond micr ostrip detectors in a 100 GeV pion beam at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland. Using detectors with a 50 mu m strip pitch and a 50% coverage, we achi eved an average signal size of 4350 electrons with a signal-to-noise r atio of 30:1 and a spatial resolution of 14.3 mu m.
