	The FAIR facility will provide intense primary beams of protons and heavy ions, or secondary beams of antiproton and rare isotopes. The operation includes fixed-target experiments or subsequent facilities of independent storage rings and experiment beam lines. The particle beams greatly differ in ion species, intensity, time structure, spot size and stopping power. Therefore, transverse beam profile measurements require a careful choice of detector type for each location in order to cope with the large dynamic range and operational demands. This contribution presents the actual status of FAIR detector developments for intercepting devices (SEM-Grids, Multi-Wire Proportional Chambers, Scintillating Screens) as well as non-intercepting Beam Induced Fluorescence Monitors and Ionization Profile Monitors. Recently, promising results were obtained with slow extracted heavy ion beams in measurements of optical transmission radiation emitted from thin metal foils. The boundaries for the application area are described and basic detector parameters are summarized.

	Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. High luminosity and high polarization in RHIC require good control and measurement of emittance in its injector, the Brookhaven AGS. In the past, the AGS emittance has been measured by using an ion collecting IPM during the whole cycle and a multi-wire at injection. The beam profiles from this IPM are distorted by space charge forces at higher energy, which makes the emittance determination very hard. In addition, helical superconducting snake magnets and near integer vertical tune for polarized proton operation distort the lattice in the AGS and introduce large beta beating. For more precise measurements of the emittance, we need TBT measurements near injection and beta function measurements at the location of devices used to measure the emittance. A Polarimeter target has been used as flying wire for proton emittance measurement. A new type electron collecting IPM has been installed and tested in the AGS with proton beam. The Beta functions at the IPM locations have been measured with Orbit Response Matrix (ORM) methods and with a local corrector at IPM. This paper summarizes our current understanding of AGS emittances and plans for further improvements.

WEPF04	A New Compact Design of a Three-Dimensional Ionization Profile Monitor (IPM)	laser, DESY, simulation, beam-position	811
	H.F. Breede, H.-J. Grabosch, M. Sachwitz, L.V. Vu DESY Zeuthen, Zeuthen, Germany
	FLASH at DESY in Hamburg is a linear accelerator, which uses superconducting technology to produce soft x-ray laser light ranging from 4.1 to 45 nm. To ensure the operation stability of FLASH, monitoring of the beam is mandatory. Two Ionization Profile Monitors (IPM) detect the lateral x and y position changes. The functional principle of the IPM is based on the detection of particles, generated by interaction of the beam with the residual gas in the beam line. The newly designed IPM enables the combined determination of the horizontal and vertical position as well as the profile. This is made possible by a compact monitor, consisting of a cage in a vacuum chamber, two micro-channel plates (MCP) and two repeller plates with toggled electric fields at the opposite sides of the MCPs. The particles created by the FEL beam, drift in a homogenous electrical field towards the respective MCP, which produces an image of the beam profile on an attached phosphor screen. A camera for each MCP is used for evaluation. This indirect detection scheme operates over a wide dynamic range and allows the detection of the center of gravity and the shape of the beam. The final design is presented.
