During normal operation the Los Alamos Proton Storage Ring (PSR) accumulates up to 4{center_dot}1013 protons over 625{mu}s with a repetition rate of 20 Hz, corresponding to a current of 125{mu}A to the Lujan Neutron Science Center. Beam losses in the ring as well as in the extraction beam line and the subsequent activation of material are a limiting factor at these currents. Careful tuning of injection, ring and extraction line is paramount to limiting losses to acceptable levels. Losses are typically not uniform around the ring, but occur in significantly higher levels in certain 'hot spots'. Here I will report on losses related to the stripper foil which are the dominant source of losses in the ring. First results of a comparison with simulations will also be presented.
