Abstract
In the framework of the construction of the double time-of-flight spectrometer VERDI, where we aim at measuring pre- and post-neutron masses directly and simultaneously, ultra-fast time pick-up detectors based on artificial diamond material were investigated for the first time with fission fragments from 252Cf (0.5MeV/u ► First use of chemical vapor deposited diamond for heavy ions with kinetic energies below 2 MeV per nucleon. ► Fission-fragment time-of-flight measurements with a timing resolution better than 150 ps. ► Radiation-hard fission event trigger to be used in an intense neutron field.
