Contributed Oral Presentation
The ISIS Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) operates at a repetition rate of 50 Hz and delivers high-intensity proton beams of up to $3\times10^{13}$ protons per pulse at 800 MeV to two neutron and one muon production targets. Maintaining control over the closed orbit is essential to optimal performance. Magnet alignment surveys are now regularly carried out during accelerator shutdowns,...
