High speed loss monitor is very useful for tuning and operating the beam in an accelerator, especially in the injection and extraction period. We made a new type loss monitor by connecting a fiber to a photo-multiplier (PMT). In the case that the fiber is made of quartz, the source of the signal is Cherenkov effect. And in the case of scintillation fiber, the signal comes from the scintillation effect. The quartz is much stronger than the scintillator to the radiation, but generating light in the quartz is weaker than scintillator, especially in low energy beam. It is very easy to make this monitor and the fabrication cost is cheap. The monitor can observe the bunch loss with an order of 10 ns. After long time use under high irradiation, the signal of the monitor will decrease. Therefore, we also report the dependence of the signal strength on accumulated radiation in various types of material.
