Imperfection and vertical intrinsic depolarizing resonances have been overcome by the two partial Siberian snakes in the AGS. The relatively weak but numerous horizontal resonances are the main source of polarization loss in the AGS. A pair of horizontal quads have been used to overcome these weak resonances. This technique needs very accurate jump timing. Fast roll-over magnet cycle has been used and it improves the polarization transmission efficiency near extraction when acceleration usually is slowing down. Emittance preservation is also important to mitigate polarization loss. Recent experimental results including jump quad timing and emittance preservation are presented in this paper.

Future RHIC physics program calls for polarized He3 beam. The He3 beam from the new EBIS source has a relative low rigidity which requires delicate control of injection and RF setup in the Booster. The strong depolarization resonance strength in both AGS and AGS Booster requires careful consideration of beam energy range and optics setup. Recently, the He3 beam was accelerated to 11GeV/n in the AGS. The near term goal fo 3*1010 at RHIC requires several RF bunch merges in both AGS and the Booster. The beam test results are presented in this paper.

The AGS tune jump system consists of two fast quadrupoles used to accelerate the crossing of 82 horizontal intrinsic spin resonances. The fast tune jump of ΔQh=+0.04 within 100 μs imposes perfect localization of each of the 82 resonant conditions. Imperfect timing of the tune jumps results in lower efficiency of the system and lower transmission of the polarization through the AGS acceleration cycle. Investigations during the end of the pp AGS Run13 revealed weaknesses in the energy measurement at high energy, causing less than optimal timing of the tune jumps. A new method based on continuous polarization measurement to determine the energy during the acceleration cycle has been developed. Strong operational constraints were taken into account to provide a convenient system of energy measurement. This is also used to calibrate the usual determination of the energy based on revolution frequency of the beam or measured dipole magnetic field. This paper shows the tools developed and the results of the first tests during the AGS Run 14. Simulations of the expected tune jumps efficiency using the AGS Zgoubi model are also presented and compared to experimental results.
