It provides an overview of the design, installation, and commissioning status of electron lens-based beam-beam compensation in RHIC, highlighting recent progress and future plans.

Findings

01

Electron lenses are being commissioned for beam-beam compensation.

02

The approach aims to improve polarized proton operation performance.

03

Current status and future plans for RHIC's beam compensation are outlined.

Abstract

In polarized proton operation, the performance of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is limited by the head-on beam-beam effect. To overcome this limitation, two electron lenses are under commissioning. We give an overview of head-on beam-beam compensation in general and in the specific design for RHIC, which is based on electron lenses. The status of installation and commissioning are presented along with plans for the future.
