Abstract
There are a number of novel instrumentation issues relating to the generation, cooling and acceleration of high power muon beams. Specific issues are monitoring the cooling water in the magnet nearest the target to minimize corrosion, monitoring the behavior of the target after the impact of the beam, and following the beam through the cooling accelerator chain. The muon cooling system also produces a number of unique issues such as making beam profile measurements in the presence of large backgrounds, measuring these backgrounds, losses, and the angular momentum of the beam. We describe the techniques we intend to use, and some of the constraints involved in their implementation
