Description

Natural diamond is a type of mineral that forms deep underground in the Earth over several billion years. On the other hand, synthetic diamonds can be manufactured within a few days, with precise control over the amount of impurities. The impurity content in diamond affects its physical properties; for example, it determines its characteristics as a particle detector.
In this talk, I will present the development status of synthetic diamond detectors, primarily motivated by the direct detection of dark matter.
