	J-PARC had developed the beam diagnostic devices for the current J-PARC linac and has used them since the operation start. J-PARC linac began the energy upgrade project since 2009 and 21 ACS cavities will be installed. In this project, many cavities and related devices are newly installed in the ACS section and its downstream part. Because the beam parameters are updated, new beam diagnostic devices are fabricated and current diagnostic devices are developed. Beam position monitors (BPM) are newly designed and fabricated, based on the computer simulation and bench test. Because the gas proportional BLMs as the current BLM are sensitive to background noise of X-ray emitted from RF cavities, it is difficult to recognize real beam loss. We need to subtract an X-ray noise from the signal from BLM, another candidate BLMs have been tried to measure the beam loss. In addition, the bunch shape monitor for the longitudinal tuning has been developed in the corroboration with the institute for nuclear research, Russia. In this paper, we describe the new developed devices and their development process, especially for beam loss monitor and the developing bunch shape monitor.

	Ar gas proportional BLMs have measured the beam loss through operations, but they are also sensitive to background noise of X-ray emitted from RF cavities. We have tried to measure the beam loss using scintillation monitors which would bring more accurate beam loss measurements with suppression of X-ray noise. We measured beam loss using scintillation beam loss monitors. Because this scintillation BLM is sensitive for low energy gamma-rays and fast neutrons, small signals from X-rays would be also detected. As the measurement results, a good signal to noise ratio is observed for the scintillation monitor with quite low sensitivity to the background X-ray. And many single events are observed in the intermediate pulse bunch with about 600 ns as pulse width. After all signals passed through the filter circuit and integrated circuit, total amount of X-ray noise can become smaller. We obtained the good performances of scintillation BLM with small effect of X-ray noise. This monitor can be used for beam loss measurement and a knob for tuning. Furthermore, because the detail structure can be detected, this monitor could be employed for another diagnostic device.

Ar gas proportional BLMs have measured the beam loss through operations, but they are also sensitive to background noise of X-ray emitted from RF cavities. We have tried to measure the beam loss using scintillation monitors which would bring more accurate beam loss measurements with suppression of X-ray noise. We measured beam loss using scintillation beam loss monitors. Because this scintillation BLM is sensitive for low energy gamma-rays and fast neutrons, small signals from X-rays would be also detected. As the measurement results, a good signal to noise ratio is observed for the scintillation monitor with quite low sensitivity to the background X-ray. And many single events are observed in the intermediate pulse bunch with about 600 ns as pulse width. After all signals passed through the filter circuit and integrated circuit, total amount of X-ray noise can become smaller. We obtained the good performances of scintillation BLM with small effect of X-ray noise. This monitor can be used for beam loss measurement and a knob for tuning.
