We present a non-destructive superconducting monitoring system for charged particles beams. The system uses the Cryogenic Current Comparator (CCC) principle with a low temperature DC-SQUID. The Cryogenic Current Comparator has shown its capability in the Horizontal Bi-Cavity Test Facility at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin under noisy conditions. In this test facility for superconducting cavities the CCC setup was able to detect dark currents in the nA range. The suitability of the Cryogenic Current Comparator as a beam monitor for the Facility of Antiproton and Ion Research at GSI Darmstadt as well as for the Cryogenic Storage Ring at MPI Heidelberg will be pointed out and discussed. Special attention will be given to the ferromagnetic core materials embedded in the pickup coil.

An absolute and exact measurement of the intensity of charged particle beams - extracted from an accelerator or circulating in a Storage Ring - is one of the major problems of beam diagnostics. Also the measurement of so-called dark currents, generated by superconductive RF accelerator cavities at high voltage gradients to characterize the quality of these components becomes more and more important for the commissioning of new accelerators (XFEL). The Cryogenic Current Comparator (CCC) based on high precision LTS SQUIDs is an excellent tool to solve these problems. This contribution gives an overview on the development of SQUID-based CCC for nuclear physics from the first successful demonstration of the performance at GSI Darmstadt through the recently tested CCC for the XFEL at DESY to the latest improved version for FAIR.
