abstract = {Beam loss in accelerators is an unavoidable and often unwanted reality, but it is not without its use. Information from beam loss can be leveraged to optimize the tune and improve beam quality, in addition to monitoring for machine fault and failure conditions. The folded geometry at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) presents a unique challenge in the detection of radiative losses, resulting in the introduction of non-traditional measurement schemes. In addition to neutron detectors and pressurized ionization chambers, FRIB will utilize halo ring monitors, fast thermometry within the cryomodules, and differential beam-current measurements. This paper will present an analysis of beam-loss measurements from commissioning the first segment of the FRIB accelerator, and a discussion of ways to evaluate and monitor the health of the beam loss monitoring system.},
