A single-crystal CVD diamond detector (DD) of a sandwich structure was used for the measurement of soft X-rays and ions emitted from plasmas obtained with the use the PALS laser system in Prague. In the laser experiment, the responses of the detector to X-rays and ions were compared with the responses of an ion collector (IC). The signals from the DD proved to be much different to the ones from the IC, which is explained by different mechanisms of producing current in both detectors. Due to its high sensitivity, the DD is useful for the measurement of fast protons.
