Abstract
The purpose of this work was to develop a cost-effective beam loss monitor for use at the K600 magnetic spectrometer at iThemba LABS. To this end. the commonly used materials and technologies were reviewed and photo diodes were chosen because of their low price, high performance and ready availability. Experiments have been carried out and compared to theoretical calculations. Recommendations for future developments are presented.
