Abstract :
Progress on the beam control and study programme for the 800 MeV High Intensity Proton Synchrotron of the Spallation Neutron Source ISIS, is outlined. Recent hardware upgrades to diagnostics, instrumentation and computing have increased the amount, accuracy and availability of beam information. The measurement methods employed and their planned applications for beam control, optimisation and study are described. Work includes detailed study of longitudinal and transverse dynamics at high and low intensity. Results obtained so far and future plans are summarised
