A new in-flight separator Super-FRS is under construction at FAIR/Darmstadt. Ion rates up to 3× 1011 238U/spill demand an adaptation of detectors to a high radiation environment. A test experiment to investigate the radiation hardness of polycrystalline diamond detectors(pcCVD) was performed at the LNS-INFN in Catania using a 12C beam at 62MeV/u and intensities of up to 1.5pnA. The setup consisted of pcCVD strip detectors to measure the beam profile, a single crystal diamond detector to calibrate the IC working in current mode as a beam intensity monitor and a pcCVD sample to be irradiated. The IC used was designed for FAIR and showed a stable counting rate allowing us to calibrate and perform beam intensity measurements with it. The results showed no decrease of the signal quality before and after the irradiation of 3.5MGy.
A second experiment at GSI aimed at a very precise calibration of this IC using a plastic scintillator as reference, achieving a relative precision below 1%.
