The paper proposes a method of finding the beam loss locations in a linac. If the beam is scraped at an aperture limitation, moving its centroid with two dipole correctors located upstream and oscillating in sync produces a line at the corresponding frequency in spectra of current-sensitive devices, loss monitors, and BPMs downstream of the loss point. The phase of this signal contains information about the location of the beam loss. Proof-of-principle measure-ments performed at the Fermilab Linac are presented.
