Development of Diamond Muon Detectors for DUNE

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment currently under development, and will be highly sensitive to CP violation in neutrinos when it begins operation in the mid-2020s. The neutrino beam used by DUNE will be a horn-focused meson beam decaying to a neutrino and muon beam. Muons are easier to detect, which allows us to monitor the beam alignment, distribution, and intensity in real-time. I have built two prototype detectors in order to compare the performance of silicon and diamond ionization detectors in a neutrino beamline. This talk will focus on the testing of custom detectors in the NuMI beamline in order to validate the design and quantify their performance.
