The main probe of the JAEA AVF cyclotron has been modified to measure a beam phase width in the accelerating region without extracting the beam from the cyclotron, which could cause the beam loss at the extraction device. The main probe consists of a carbon block for a beam current measurement and a plastic scintillator for a beam phase measurement. A correlation between the beam phase width and the position of phase slits was confirmed.
