Test samples of detectors and electronics for them constructed for the purpose of monitoring the “intense” relativistic ion beams extracted from the accelerator of the Nuclotron-M accelerator complex in real time are described. The system was tested in a series of acceleration runs with deuteron beams with an intensity of up to 10 10 1/s and beams of carbon nuclei. The system allows one to perform multiple measurements of the two-dimensional distribution of the beam intensity in the plane perpendicular to it and the beam position in this plane during the beam dump and measure the two-dimensional distribution of the target irradiation dose after each beam dump.
