  New magnetized high energy coolers like the one proposed for the High Energy Storage Ring (HESR) at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) have specific demands on the diagnostic of the electron beam. Due to high voltage breakdowns they only allow a very small beam loss so non-invasive beam diagnostic methods are necessary. For beam profile measurement a system based on beam induced fluorescence (BIF) was designed and is under installation at the 100 keV polarized test setup at the Mainzer Mikrotron (MAMI) at the moment. For the diagnostic of other observables of the cooling beam, like the electron beam energy or the electron temperature, a Thomson scattering experiment is planned at the same setup. The planned experiments for the beam profile measurement are presented and the challenges of the Thomson scattering method are discussed.

  After successful demonstration measurements with the Scintillation Profile Monitor at COSY, a dedicated vacuum chamber with two vacuum windows and supporting vacuum ports was installed in the COSY synchrotron. The chamber is blackened inside to suppress light reflection. Since residual gas pressure is too low to support reliable profile measurements based on beam induced scintillation, a piezo-electric dosing valve was installed allowing fast injections of defined amount of nitrogen. A 32-channel photomultiplier is used to detect light. Beam profile measurements and first operational experience are reported.

  The Ionization Profile Monitor in the SIS18 is frequently used for machine development. The permanent availability and the elaborated software user interface make it easy and comfortable to use. Additional to the beam profile data the device records the data of synchrotron dc current, dipole ramp and accelerating rf properties. The trend curves of these data are shown correlated to the beam profile evolution for a full synchrotron cycle from injection to extraction with 100 profiles/s. The reliable function is based on the optimized in-vacuum hardware design, like the stable high voltage connections, the electric field box with very uniform field distribution and the uv-light based calibration system. The permanent availability is based on the convenient software interface using the Qt library. A new IPM generation was recently commissioned in the experimental storage ring ESR at GSI and one in the COSY ring at FZ-Jülich. These monitors are enhancements of the SIS18 multiwire IPM but equipped with an especially developed large area 50x100 mm2 optical particle detector of rectangular shape that is readout by a digital camera through a viewport.
