Analysis of laser-generated plasma ionizing radiation by synthetic single crystal diamond detectors

► Single crystal CVD diamond detectors were fabricated and employed to monitor the products of laser generated plasmas. ► Both the forward and backward expanding plasma was characterized by TOF technique. ► The proposed diamond detectors are able to measure UV, X-rays, electrons and ions simultaneously. ► The detectors showed fast response and good sensitivity to ions and electrons which are well separated from the photopeak.
