Abstract
Silicon detectors are widely used in high energy physics experiments for high precision tracking and reconstruction of primary and secondary vertices with good resolution. These detectors are close to the interaction points so they suffer very high fluence of particles and can be infected with radiation damage which can reduce the signal-to-noise ratio which is a very important quantity in any experiment. In this paper, we compare some of the important quantities such as the energy loss and the charge created by minimum ionizing particle (MIP), noise levels, multiple scattering, and radiation damage of Si, Ge, and Diamond and investigate which one will more suited for future collider experiments, where the luminosity and energy of the collision will be very high. We also show the results of diamond film grown by us in the laboratory and also the testing of various diamond films.
