Abstract
A supersonic gas jet beam profile monitor has been developed by the QUASAR Group at the Cockcroft Institute, UK. It creates a 45 degree supersonic gas curtain to interact with the primary beam, and then collect the generated ions to measure the transverse profiles of the primary beam. The gas curtain functions as a non-interceptive screen, which allows us to insert it into high energy, high luminosity and high power beams without worrying about the damage that normal screen would suffer. Recently, a new movable gauge module has been implemented in the test stand. The purpose is to investigate the gas curtain density distribution in order to understand the jet better. In this contribution, we will briefly discuss the monitor and focus on the gas curtain measurement with the newly installed movable gauge module.
