	The Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc) will be a 9 MeV, 125 mA (CW), 1.125 MW deuteron beam with the objective of validating the technology that will be used in the future IFMIF facility. Due to the high power, non-interceptive profilers are required for the operation of the accelerator. Two prototypes of LIPAc fluorescence profile monitors (one based on a PMT array and another based on an intensified CID camera) were tested obtaining beam profiles from a 9 MeV deuteron in the CNA cyclotron, Spain. Improved measurements have been carried out recently and the results will be presented. The new measurements include evolution of beam sizes, beam center positions and profile intensities during: i) beam steering ii) injection of N₂ and H₂ iii) different beam conditions. Main parameters of both monitor measurements are analysed and comparison with previous results will be performed. These measurements were carried out under significant gamma and neutron background.

The Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc) will be a 9 MeV, 125 mA (CW), 1.125 MW deuteron beam with the objective of validating the technology that will be used in the future IFMIF facility. Due to the high power, non-interceptive profilers are required for the operation of the accelerator. Two prototypes of LIPAc fluorescence profile monitors (one based on a PMT array and another based on an intensified CID camera) were tested obtaining beam profiles from a 9 MeV deuteron in the CNA cyclotron, Spain. Improved measurements have been carried out recently and the results will be presented. The new measurements include evolution of beam sizes, beam center positions and profile intensities during: i) beam steering ii) injection of N₂ and H₂ iii) different beam conditions.
