Abstract
We report on the test results obtained with a prototype beam profiler based on a thin slit and a CsI scintillator, read out by means of a compact phot omultiplier. Such a device has proven to be suitable to perform ion beam di agnostics at low and very low intensities. In particular, our device is sui table for being used in the energy and intensity ranges expected at the EXC YT radioactive ion beam facility, that is currently under development at LN S Catania.
