The Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) High Intensity Neutrino Sources (HINS) is a research project to address accelerator physics and technology questions for a new concept, low-energy, high-intensity long pulse H^- superconducting linac. HINS will consist of a 50 keV ion source, a 2.5 MeV Radiofrequency Quadrupole (RFQ), and a 10 MeV room temperature spoke resonator acceleration section followed by superconducting spoke resonator acceleration sections. At this time a proton ion source and the RFQ module have operated with beam. This paper will present the results of first beam measurements through the HINS RFQ.

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.
