An electron lens for head-on beam-beam compensation planned for RHIC requires precise overlap of the electron and proton beams which both can have down to 0.3 mm rms transverse radial widths along the 2m long interaction region. Here we describe a new diagnostic tool that is being considered to aid in the tuning and verification of this overlap. Some of ultra relativistic protons (100 or 250 GeV) colliding with low energy electrons (2 to 10 keV) will transfer sufficient transverse momentum to cause the electrons to spiral around the magnetic guiding field in a way that will make them detectable outside of the main solenoid. Time-of-flight of the halo electron signals will provide position-sensitive information along the overlap region. Scattering cross sections are calculated and counting rate estimates are presented as function of electron energy and detector position.

A horizontal tune jump system has been installed to overcome the horizontal intrinsic spin resonances, which requires jumping the horizontal tune 0.04 units 82 times, 41 up and 41 down. Two quadruple magnets have been installed in AGS ring to do this. The pulsed magnet currents range from about 140 amps near injection to about 1400 amps late. Current pulse rise and fall times are around 100 micro-sec and flat tops time are around 4mS. These quadruples have separate supplies. This tune jump pulse power supply employees all semiconductor parts as the main switches. During dummy load and magnet testing, the test result showed that the power supply could meet the specification. This article will describe some detail of power supply simulation, design and testing. Some test waveform and pictures are presented in this paper.

After years of suffering Booster Injection Kicker transistor bank driver regulator trouble shooting, a new real time monitor system has been developed. A simple and floating circuit has been designed and tested. This circuit monitor system can real time monitor the driver regulator power limit resistor status and warn machine operators if the power limit resistor changes values. This paper will introduce the power supply mainly and the new designed monitoring system.

It has been speculated that the beam may cause instability of the RHIC Beam Abort Kickers. In this study, we explore the available data of past beam operations, the device history of key modulator components, and the radiation patterns to examine the correlations.

Two electron lenses are under construction for RHIC to partially compensate the head-on beam-beam effect in order to increase both the peak and average luminosity. The final design of the overall system is reported as well as the status of the component design, acquisition, and manufacturing.

Two electron lenses for a head-on beam-beam compensation are being planned for RHIC; one for each circulating proton beam. The transverse profile of the electron beam will be Gaussian up to a maximum radius of re=3σ. Simulations and design of the electron gun with Gaussian radial emission current density profile and of the electron collector are presented. Ions of the residual gas generated in the interaction region by electron and proton beams will be removed by an axial gradient of the electric field towards the electron collector. A method of optical observation the transverse profile of the electron beam is described.
