For least-interceptive measurement of the transverse profile of exotic and antimatter beams in the Ultra-low energy Storage Ring (USR), a flexible monitoring apparatus has been designed at the Cockcroft Institute, UK. The monitor relies on ionization of neutral gas atoms from the primary beam, and subsequent imaging of the ionization products on aμChannel Plate position sensitive detector. The flexibility of the apparatus lies in the ability of using, as neutral gas target either the residual gas or a supersonic gas jet target, depending on the requirements of the machine. In this contribution we introduce describe the experimental characterization of the monitor in the residual gas monitoring mode.
