The LANSCE accelerator has been in operation for nearly five decades. During this period, it was transformed from a 0.8 MW average proton beam power machine used primarily for the study of meson physics, to a multi-user high-power facility for fundamental research and national security applications, concurrently delivering beams to five distinct experimental areas. Minimization of beam losses in multi-beam application is a key issue for effective operation of accelerator facility. This paper summarizes recent experimental results in understanding and lowering of beam losses in LANSCE linear accelerator and high-energy beam transport lines.
