Abstract
The aim of this paper is to report on the tailoring of the physical properties of polycrystalline CVD diamond in order to fulfil the requirements of radiotherapy dosimeters. A very simple device geometry has been used to study the electronic response of the polycrystalline CVD layers and results achieved with a 6 MV bremsstrahlung X-ray beam delivered by a linear accelerator are presented and discussed.
