            The European Synchrotron radiation facility is a third
            generation x-ray source providing x-rays on a continuous
            basis. As a facility available to external users, the
            monitoring of radiation caused by the loss of high-energy
            stored beam is of great concern. A network of beam loss
            monitors has been installed inside the storage ring tunnel
            so as to detect and localize the slow loss of electrons
            during a beam decay. This diagnostic tool allows
            optimization of beam parameters and physical aperture
            limits as well as giving useful information on the
            machine to allow the lifetime to be optimized and
            defects localized.
