The construction and initial commissioning phase of a new heavy ion preinjector was completed at Brookhaven in September, 2010, and the preinjector is now operational. This preinjector, using an EBIS source to produce high charge state heavy ions, provided helium and neon ion beams for use at the NASA Space Radiation Laboratory in the Fall of 2010, and gold and uranium beams are being commissioned during the 2011 run cycle for use in RHIC. The EBIS operates with an electron beam current of up to 10 A, to produce mA level currents in 10 to 40 μs beam pulses. The source is followed by an RFQ and IH linac to accelerate ions with q/m > 0.16 to an energy of 2 MeV/amu, for injection into the Booster synchrotron. The performance of the preinjector is presented, including initial operational experience for the NASA and RHIC programs.

	Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. A method to indirectly measure and deterministically correct the higher order magnetic errors of the final focusing magnets in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has been in place for several years at BNL. This method yields control over the effects of multi-pole errors through application of closed orbit bumps followed by analysis and correction of the resulting betatron tune shifts using multi-pole correctors. The process has recently been automated in order to provide more efficient and effective corrections. The tune resolution along with the reliability of tune measurements has also been improved significantly due to advances/upgrades in the betatron tune measurement system employed at RHIC (BBQ). Here we describe the foundation of the IR bump method, followed by recent improvements along with experimental data.

	Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy The RHIC polarized proton physics program requires high luminosity and high polarization which depends directly on the intensity, emittances and polarization delivered to RHIC by the injector chain. In the AGS, two partial snakes create gaps in the realized spin-tune around the integers which allows an accelerating beam with sufficiently small vertical emittance and near-integer vertical tune to avoid the imperfection and vertical intrinsic resonances. The same strategy strengthens the many (82) weak horizontal intrinsic resonances crossed during AGS acceleration. A system speeding up these resonance crossings – the AGS JumpQuad system: 82 tiny (0.04) fast (100usec) betatron tune shifts – has been commissioned and evolved during RHIC Runs 09, 10, and 11. Subtle properties of the AGS geometry and lattice, magnified into relevance by the high vertical tune can result in polarization-damaging emittance growth when combined with the Jump Quad gymnastics. Orbit stability is critical. Some aspects of the JumpQuad system, of this commissioning effort and related developments will be described.
