Future atomic and nuclear physics experiments put challenging demands on the required beam instrumentation. Low energy (<1 MeV), low intensity (<107 pps) beams will require highly sensitive monitors. This is especially true for the Facility for Low-energy Antiproton and Ion Research (FLAIR) where antiproton beams will be decelerated down to 20 keV and as few as 5·105 particles per second will be slowly extracted for external experiments. In order to investigate the limits of scintillating screens for beam profile monitoring in the low energy, low intensity regime a structured analysis of several screen materials, including CsI:Tl, YAG:Ce and scintillating fibre optic plate (SFOP), has been done under different irradiation conditions with keV proton beams. This contribution will present the experimental setup and summarize the results of this study.
