We are proud to announce that our latest publication with the title “SiC based beam monitoring system for particle rates from kHz to GHz” has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Instrumentation.

Abstract:

The extremely low dark current of silicon carbide (SiC) detectors, even after high-fluence irradiation, was utilized to develop a beam monitoring system for a wide range of particle rates, i.e., from the kHz to the GHz regime. The system is completely built from off-the-shelf components and is focused on compactness and simple deployment. Beam tests using a 50 um thick SiC detector reveal, that for low fluences, single particles can be detected and counted. For higher fluences, beam properties were extracted from beam cross sections using a silicon strip detector. Overall, accurate results were achieved up to a particle rate of 109 particles per second.
