  The ISIS synchrotron forms part of the accelerator chain for the Spallation Neutron Source at RAL, UK. The synchrotron is an 800 MeV, 50Hz , RCS accelerating ~2.8·1013 protons per cycle. Beam loss is localized in two super periods of the ring using a system of collimators. The injection and acceleration processes, vacuum vessels and collimation systems have been modeled using the particle tracking code ORBIT. This paper presents simulation results in comparison to measurements of longitudinal profiles and beam loss.
