An evaluation of some pertinent parameters that influence the dosimetric performance of synthetic diamond detectors

► We evaluated the response characteristics of diamond detectors to two beam types. ► The unstable response of the detectors was attributed to the presence of ambient light. ► The diamond detectors were found to not require dose rate dependence corrections. ► The change in the angular response of the diamond detectors is within 4%. ► An optimized design would make the probe to be independent of beam direction.
