A high level application has been developed for the RHIC collider to provide a complete package for optics control. Optics can be measured using three different algorithms to process turn-by-turn (TBT) beam position monitor (BPM) data from either free (tune meter) or driven (AC dipole) betatron oscillations, and corrected via SVD on a response matrix built around specific sets of quadrupoles. The following reviews the details of those methods, and includes the first results of the operational commissioning of the application.

Independent component analysis (ICA) was applied to the AC dipole based optics measurement at RHIC to extract beta functions as well as phase advances at each BPM. Existence of excessive beta-beat was observed in both rings of RHIC at store energy. A unique global optics correction scheme was then developed and tested successfully during the RHIC polarized proton run in 2013. The feasibility of using closed orbit bump and sextupole for arc beta-beat correction was also demonstrated. The technique and experimental results of optics correction are reported in this paper.
