Abstract

Differentially filtered, photoconductive, neutron-irradiated diamond detectors have been employed to investigate the temporal and energy distribution of an intense pulsed proton beam. Results were compared against measurements obtained using differentially filtered radiachromic film, electromagnetic (EM) techniques, time-of-flight techniques, and calorimetric instruments
