abstract = {Beam halo measurement is important, because novel x-ray free electron lasers like LCLS-II have very high repetition rates, and the average power in the halo can become destructive to a beamline. Diamond quad detectors were previously used for electron beam halo measurements at KEK*. Diamond is the radiation hard material which can be used to measure the flux of passing particles based on a particle-induced conductivity effect. However, the quad detectors have metallic contacts for charge collection. Their performance degrades over time due to the deterioration of the contacts under electron impact. We recently demonstrated a diamond electrodeless x-ray flux monitor based on a microwave measurement of the change in the resonator coupling and eigen frequency**. We propose similar measurements with a diamond put in a resonator that intercepts the halo. Without electrodes, such a device is more radiation resistant. By measuring the change in RF properties of the resonator, one can infer the beam halo parameters. In a similar manner to traditional beam halo monitors, the diamond plate can be scanned across the beam to map its transverse distribution.},
