Development of a sapphire microstrip detector for gamma beam monitoring
Artificial sapphire gained interest as radiation detector in the recent years, as an alternative to diamond. The research and development campaign to design, build and characterize a radiation-hard detector for gamma beam monitoring takes place in the scientific context of the Laser Und XFEL Experiment (LUXE) at DESY. The experiment requirements of beam profile reconstruction with micro-metric precision and radiation hardness led to a proposed sapphire microstrip detector design. This work introduces the scientific context for a sapphire microstrip gamma beam profiler (GBP) and describes the experimental campaign for sapphire characterization from early prototypes to the final development of a 192-strip detector.
