  An instrument which can diagnose a two-dimensional beam profile of the beam core together with the beam halo in wide dynamic range has been developed in the J-PARC. The instrument consists of OTR (Ti foil of 10 μm) screen, fluorescence (Cr doped alumina) screen, an Offner type imaging system, and a camera with image intensifier. The beam core is observed with OTR and the beam halo is observed with fluorescence screen, respectively. A combination of observations of beam core and halo with these two different screens that have different sensitivities allowed us an observation in wide-dynamic range. The four fluorescence screens are set in vertical and horizontal arrangement. Both the OTR and fluorescence are focused by an Offner type optics having a very wide incident pupil makes these images. This instrument is set in the beam transport line between the rapid cycling synchrotron and the main ring. A two dimensional profile of the beam core and the halo were successfully observed in six order of magnitude at projected plane using intense 3 GeV proton beams of 1.5 x 1013 protons. This monitor has a big advantage for the diagnostic of beam core and halo shapes in real space.

  Rapid Cycling Synchrotron(RCS) of Japan Proton Accelerator Complex(J-PARC) is providing more than 300 kW of proton beam to Material and Life science Facility(MLF) and Main Ring(MR). Last summer shutdown, a new ion source was installed to increase output power to 1 MW. In order to achieve reliable operation of 1 MW, we need to reduce beam loss as well. Beam quality of such higher output power is also important for users. We present beam monitor systems for these purposes.
