Several experimental disciplines require simultaneous neutron flux and temperature monitoring. This paper provides the groundwork on a diamond sensor concept that could be used in harsh environments where the limits of current technologies are exceeded. Here, we present initial results on the functionality of a multimodal diamond sensor, which can simultaneously sense the presence of alpha particles at a few counts per second at temperatures up to 494 K. Such a sensor may also have applications where both charged particles or neutron detection and temperature measurement are simultaneously desired.
