To search for the critical point in the QCD phase diagram, Au-Au collisions at beam energies between 2.5 and 15 GeV are required. While RHIC has successfully operated at 3.85 and 5.75 GeV, the performance achieved at 2.5 GeV is not sufficient for a meaningful physics program. We report on dedicated beam experiments performed to understand and improve this situation.
