  The ionization beam cross section monitor (BCSM) is developed and used on proton linac of INR RAS to provide non-intercepting measurements of beam parameters. Operation of the monitor is based on utilization of residual gas ionization. The BCSM configuration design and image processing system are described and estimations of influence of the linac radiation background are discussed. The monitor enables to observe beam cross section and extract from it beam profiles and position as well as their evolution in time within a wide range of beam intensities and energies. The available experimental results of beam spot, profiles and emittances measurements at the linac output are presented.
