Detection of high flux synchrotron radiation based on diamond detector for HEPS.

Abstract High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) with a beam energy of 6 GeV and emittance less than 1.0 nm rad will be constructed in China, which can provide high-brightness hard X-ray in the order of 1022 (phs/s/mm2/mr2/0.1%B.W.). The broadband and high-brightness monochromatic beam flux and white beam flux need new detector other than the ion chambers for measurement in case of saturation under high-flux conditions. The Diamond X-ray detector for the beam position monitoring and high brightness X-ray detection is developing for High Energy Photon Source in China. The diamond detector has advantages over other detector materials: a low atomic number resulting in a low absorption cross-section when used as beam position monitor and a high radiation and wide linear range when used as beam intensity measuring. In this paper, the polycrystalline chemical-vapour-deposition diamond detectors with an aluminium contact have been tested at 1W2B beamline at Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility (BSRF). A transmission-mode diamond X-ray detector is designed to simultaneously measure the X-ray flux, beam position in real time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
