Chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of diamond with very reduced atomic impurities and structural defects has been made possible over the last few years. Recent studies have shown that simple single crystal CVD (scCVD) diamond detectors with parallel-plate geometry are almost matching commercial silicon-diode detector performances with respect to energy resolution, although diamond exhibits superior timing properties. In this work, we further explore such capabilities of scCVDas a detector material by developing a new route for position sensitive detection (PSD).
