Abstract
We describe a neutron beam monitor in the few GeV region developed for an experiment of the n + p --> d + gamma differential cross section m easurement at the KEK-PS. It was used to monitor the profile and the f lux of the neutron beam. The detector is a 3-plane plastic scintillato r hodoscope. We present the design and performance of the monitor. The detection efficiencies evaluated with various Monte Carlo simulation codes are compared to the results of the measurements.
