abstract = {{ISIS is the pulsed spallation neutron and muon source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK. Operation centres on a rapid cycling proton synchrotron (RCS) that accelerates 3·10¹³ protons per pulse from 70 MeV to 800 MeV at 50 Hz, delivering a mean beam power of 0.2 MW. As a high-intensity machine, research at ISIS is predominantly focused on understanding, minimising and controlling beam-loss, which is central to sustainable machine operation. Knowledge of beam-loss mechanisms then informs the design of future high power accelerators such as ISIS-II. This paper provides an overview of the R&D studies currently underway on the ISIS RCS and how these relate to ongoing work understanding and optimising designs for ISIS-II. In particular, recent extensive investigations into observed head-tail instabilities are summarised.}},
