TPU scientists develop new diamond detectors for CERN

TOMSK, Jun 7 – RIA Tomsk. Group of scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) analyze existing and develop new diamond detectors for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) located at CERN; detectors of Tomsk polytechnicians fix collisions of elementary particles accelerating to speeds close to the speed of light, the press service of the university reports on Wednesday.

Earlier it was reported that TPU scientists became official members of the European Organization for Nuclear Research as participants of the experiments related to the development of microstructural gas detectors, searching for a dark boson - a hypothetical mediating particle which could be a potential candidate for a role of dark matter, which is up to 23% of the mass of the universe, and also with the development of the data storage system.

"Within the framework of the BRIL project (the project of CERN on measuring the characteristics of an elementary particle beam – Ed.), polytechnicians are working to improve the reliability of the existing BCML  system of diamond sensors (Beam Condition Monitor Leakage), which is responsible for safety at the LHC, and also test their own detectors from synthetic diamonds , grown by scientists of the Institute of High Technology Physics", – is said in the report.

According to the head of the laboratory for the development of sources of electromagnetic radiation "RASA Center" based on TPU Pavel Karataev, who is quoted by the press service, in the near future CERN scientists plan to increase ten times the intensity of the proton beam at the LHC.

"If we make it now, sensors (detectors) that are not prepared for such loads, fixing collisions of particles and responsible for measuring of luminosity of the beam in close proximity to it, will simply cease to fulfill their function", - the scientist says.

In order to avoid this, polytechnicians the next two months will conduct a measurement of CERN detectors, as well as develop new detectors based on synthetic diamonds and fabricate them in TPU. "They will be differ... in more predictable quality, wear resistance, and most importantly, their performance parameters will be predictable", – the engineer of the Institute of High Technology Physics Vitaly Okhotnikov is quoted.
