  Neutron beam monitors with high efficiency, low gamma sensitivity, high time
and space resolution are required in neutron beam experiments to continuously
diagnose the delivered beam. In this work, commercially available neutron beam
monitors have been characterized using the R2D2 beamline at IFE (Norway) and
using a Be-based neutron source. For the gamma sensitivity measurements
different gamma sources have been used. The evaluation of the monitors
includes, the study of their efficiency, attenuation, scattering and
sensitivity to gamma. In this work we report the results of this
characterization.
