| Popis: | The Beam Instrumentation group at CERN has developed a new scintillating fibre beam monitor for the measurement of secondary particle beams in the CERN Experimental Areas. The monitor has a simple design that stands out for its low material budget, vacuum compatibility, good performance, low cost, and ease of production. By using different read-out techniques the monitor can perform several functions, such as measurement of the profile, position and intensity of the beam, momentum spectrometry, generation of fast trigger signals, and measurement of the time-of-flight for particle identification. The monitor has been successfully commissioned in the recently created test beams of the CERN Neutrino Platform, where it has shown an excellent performance as described in the paper. 15 pages, 11 figures, 1 table.
