Description

We report on beam characterization studies of an 800-MeV proton beam using a 30-µm-thick single crystal diamond detector at Weapons Neutron Research facility at Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. Owing to its fast-timing response and high radiation tolerance, the detector enabled measurement of beam intensities spanning the full dynamic range from the outer halo to the high-density core. Measurements were performed across multiple operating conditions, including varying extracted charge, pulse repetition rates, and bias voltages. The detector provided stable and reproducible signals throughout, demonstrating its suitability for high-precision proton-beam diagnostics in environments with large intensity variations. These results highlight the applicability of thin diamond sensors for real-time monitoring in high-energy accelerator facilities.
