	Transverse beam profiles have been measured using flying wire monitors at the main ring of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex. The wire target should be thin and the wire scan has to be fast for the precise profile measurement. Otherwise the beam distribution would be disturbed and the measured profile would not be accurate. We use carbon fibers of 7 μm in diameter and the scan speed of 10 m/s. The wire is attached with an aluminum flame of 140 mm of the rotation radius and rotated with a DC servomotor. A potentiometer is attached to the wire flame and the angle readout is used for the feedback of the servomotor and the wire position measurement. The secondary particles from the beam-wire scattering are measured with a scintillation counter. Beam profiles are reconstructed by making the scatter plot of the scintillator signal and wire position. Both horizontal and vertical flying wire monitors have been used for the beam commissioning. We have successfully measured the beam profile of up to 1.2×10¹³ protons per bunch.

Transverse beam profiles have been measured using flying wire monitors at the main ring of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex. The wire target should be thin and the wire scan has to be fast for the precise profile measurement. Otherwise the beam distribution would be disturbed and the measured profile would not be accurate. We use carbon fibers of 7 μm in diameter and the scan speed of 10 m/s. The wire is attached with an aluminum flame of 140 mm of the rotation radius and rotated with a DC servomotor. A potentiometer is attached to the wire flame and the angle readout is used for the feedback of the servomotor and the wire position measurement. The secondary particles from the beam-wire scattering are measured with a scintillation counter. Beam profiles are reconstructed by making the scatter plot of the scintillator signal and wire position. Both horizontal and vertical flying wire monitors have been used for the beam commissioning. We have successfully measured the beam profile of up to 1.2×10¹³ protons per bunch.
