Modeling of Diamond Based Devices for Beam Diagnostics
Beamlines at new light sources, such as the National Synchrotron Light Source II will operate at flux levels beyond the saturation level of existing diagnostics, necessitating the development of new devices. Currently, there is no detector which can span the entire flux range that is possible even in a second generation light source and will become crucial for next generation light sources. One new approach is a diamond-based detector that will be able to monitor beam position, flux and timing to much better resolution. Furthermore, this detector also has linear response to flux over 11 orders of magnitude. However, the successful development of the detector requires thorough understanding and optimization of the physical processes involved. We will discuss the new modeling capabilities we have been implementing in the VORPAL 3D code to investigate the effects of charge generation due to absorption of x-ray photons, transport, and charge trapping. We will report results from VORPAL simulations on charge collection and how it depends on applied field, charge trapping, and the energy of absorbed photons.
