Beam profiles in the two storage rings of the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Lab (BNL) are measured with ionization profile monitors (IPMs). An IPM measures the distribution of electrons produced by beam ionization of background gas. These detectors have been developed at BNL in a program that began in 1996. The current detectors are a design from 2009. During the 2012 shutdown we refurbished the 2009 prototype detector and installed it in the Alternating-Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) for horizontal profiles. The commissioning tests were successful and in 2013 we built a new IPM for vertical profiles. In addition we placed coils on the backlegs of the permanent-magnet dipoles for beta-function measurements. This paper describes the AGS IPMs and shows data from the detector commissioning.

RHIC polarized proton operation requires fast and reliable proton polarimeter for polarization monitoring during stores. Polarimeters based on p-Carbon elastic scattering in the Coulomb Nuclear Interference(CNI) region has been used. Two polarimeters are installed in each of the two collider rings and they are capable to provide important polarization profile information. The polarimeter also provides valuable information for polarization loss on the energy ramp. As the intensity increases over years, the carbon target lifetime is getting shorter and target replacement during operation is necessary. Simulations and experiment tests have been done to address the target lifetime issue. This paper summarizes the recent operation and the target test results.
