  Transverse beam profiles have been measured using flying wire monitors at the main ring of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). The flying wire is a beam profile monitor using a thin carbon fiber as a target. The beam is scanned with the wire target at the maximum speed of 5 m/s. The secondary particles from the beam-wire scattering are detected using a scintillation counter as a function of the wire position. The measurement has revealed a characteristic temporal change of the beam profile during the injection period of 120 ms. A multiparticle tracking simulation program, SCTR, taking account of space charge effects has successfully reproduced the beam profiles.

  Proton beam extinction, defined as a residual to primary ratio of beam intensity, is one of the most important parameters to realize the future muon electron conversion experiment (COMET) proposed at J-PARC. To achieve the required extinction level of 10-9, we started measuring extinction at main ring (MR) as its first step. According to the various measurements done at the different positions, empty RF buckets of RCS, which were considered to be swept away by the RF chopper, contained about 10-7 ~ 10-5 of the main beam pulse due to chopper inefficiency. We have developed a new beam monitor with improved performance for further studies at the abort line. In addition, we have started new measurements at the Hadron experimental hall by using slow-extracted beam. In this paper, we present recent results and future prospect of beam extinction measurements.
