We present new high angular resolution observations of the 13CO 1-0 rotational line towards the HBe star R Mon, obtained with the IRAM Bure Interferometer, along with the previous results in the observed transitions 12CO 1-0 and 2-1. We have used a flat disk model to fit the 12CO 1-0 and 2-1, and 13CO 1-0 emission, in a strip perpendicular to the outflow axis. The model assumes standard abundances (X(12CO) = 8x10^-5, X(13CO) = 9x10^7), radial potential temperature and density laws (T (K) = T0 r^-q, rho (cm^-3) = rho0 r^-p), and Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium. The 13CO and 12CO emission is consistent with a flat disk at an inclination angle of 20 degrees in Keplerian rotation around the star. The gaseous disk is fitted with a mass of 0.014 Msun, an outer radius of 1500 AU, a temperature of 4500 K at the inner radius (1 AU), and values of q=0.62 and p=1.3 for the indexes of the temperature and density laws. This new 13CO observations allow us to conclude that the disk around R Mon is flat. Our result confirms previous works suggesting a predominant flat geometry in disks around early Be stars.
