Diamond is a nearly ideal material for detecting ionising radiation. Its ou tstanding radiation hardness, fast charge collection and low leakage curren t allow it to be used in high radiation environments. These characteristics make diamond sensors particularly appealing for use in the next generation of pixel detectors. Over the last year, the RD42 collaboration has worked with several groups that have developed pixel readout electronics in order to optimise diamond sensors for bump-bonding This effort resulted in an ope rational diamond pixel sensor that was tested in a pion beam. We demonstrat e that greater than 98% of the channels were successfully bump-bonded and f unctioning. The device shows good overall hit efficiency as well as clear s patial hit correlation to tracks measured in a silicon reference telescope. A position resolution of 14.8 mu m was observed, consistent with expectati ons given the detector pitch. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights res erved.
