∆E/∆E Measurements of Energetic Ions Using CVD Diamond Detectors

Abstract

Experimental and computational results of a ΔE/ΔE diamond detection system are presented. e ΔE/ΔE detection system was evaluated using energetic proton and iron beams striking thick polyethylene targets at the NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). e measured data for diamond sensor A show good agreement with the Geant4 simulation. In addition, simulations have demonstrated the ability to identify hydrogen isotopes using a diamond detection system.
