	Fiber monitors are an attractive beam loss diagnostics tool. They are based on the detection of the electromagnetic shower produced by the main beam losses. Cherenkov radiation is produced by the electromagnetic shower charged particles within the multimode fibers attached to the vacuum chamber. It is consequently converted to an electrical signal containing the information about the position and intensity of the beam losses. Therefore, a system based on the fibers installed alongside the whole accelerator together with the signal detection system forms a continuous, real-time Fiber Beam Loss Monitor (FBLM). In this context, the FBLM is a very useful tool for the commissioning and beam alignment. In this article we report on the development of the real-time display system for the FBLM at PHIL (PHotoInjector at LAL, Orsay, France) as a prototype of the beam loss monitor for the ThomX project, the compact Compton based X-ray source under construction in Orsay

	The unprecedented requirements that new machines are setting on their diagnostic systems are leading to the development of a new generation of devices with large dynamic range, sensitivity and time resolution. Beam loss detection is particularly challenging due to the large extension of new facilities that need to be covered with localized detectors. Candidates to mitigate this problem consist of systems in which the sensitive part of the radiation detectors can be extended over the long distances of beam lines.

The Australian Synchrotron (AS) comprises a 216m ring that stores electrons up to 3GeV. The Accelerator has recently claimed the world record lowest transverse emittance (below 1 pm rad). Ultra low transverse sizes and large amounts of synchrotron radiation provide an environment very similar to that expected in the CLIC damping rings. A qualitative benchmark of beam losses under damping ring-like conditions is presented here. A wide range of beam loss rates can be achieved by modifying the bunch charge, horizontal/vertical coupling and dynamic aperture as well as via beam scrapers. The controlled beam losses are observed by means of the Cherenkov light produced in a 365 um core Silica fiber. The output light is coupled to different types of photo sensors namely: Multi Pixel Photon Counters (MPPCs), standard PhotoMulTiplier (PMT) tubes and Avalanche PhotoDiodes (APD). A detailed comparison of the sensitivities and time resolution obtained with the different read-outs are discussed in this contribution.
