A linear accelerator test facility called HINS has been operating at Fermilab. The goal of this program is to test new technology for the front end of an intensity frontier linac. Some of the new technologies that will be tested include: operation of multiple cavities from a single RF source using high-power vector modulators, round beam transport using superconducting solenoidal focusing, accelerating beam with spoke cavities, and a transition to superconducting RF cavities at 10 MeV. The testing has been split into four different stages: 2.5 MeV beam out of the RFQ only, acceleration through 6 room temperature cavities with quadrupole focusing, acceleration through 18 room temperature cavities with solenoidal focusing, and acceleration through the room temperature section plus one cryomodule of superconducting spoke cavities. Each stage focuses on testing the beam quality with a particular new technology. This paper describes the instrumentation necessary to verify the specified beam quality for each stage of the program.
