  The Beam Instrumentation group at CERN has developed a new scintillating
fibre beam monitor for the measurement of secondary particle beams in the CERN
Experimental Areas. The monitor has a simple design that stands out for its low
material budget, vacuum compatibility, good performance, low cost, and ease of
production. By using different read-out techniques the monitor can perform
several functions, such as measurement of the profile, position and intensity
of the beam, momentum spectrometry, generation of fast trigger signals, and
measurement of the time-of-flight for particle identification. The monitor has
been successfully commissioned in the recently created test beams of the CERN
Neutrino Platform, where it has shown an excellent performance as described in
the paper.
