The linear accelerator of European Spallation Source will produce 5 MW proton beam. Beam of this power will likely generate significant losses along the beamline. To study these losses, a coherent model of the whole machine is being made using custom generator. This model is used to perform Monte Carlo simulations of the propagation of the accelerated beam and the losses in the MARS code system. Preliminary simulations utilizing the uniform beam loss distribution were done. More detailed simulations based on the various different loss patterns focused around hot spots in magnets were also performed and their results compared. This confirmed the limit of 0.5 W/m average heat load on accelerating cavities foreseen by the cooling requirements. Additional studies investigated the dose absorbed by fragile cooling system’s elements during the normal operation of the facility defining their radiation resistance to the levels of few kGy/y. Further simulations will also give the information about the expected beam loss detectors signal at possible locations. These data will be further analysed using custom algorithms.
