  Since the RHIC Au-Au run in the year 2001 the 200 MHz cavity system was used at storage and a 28 MHz system during injection and acceleration.The rebucketing procedure potentially causes a higher debunching rate of heavy ion beams in addition to amplifying debunching due to other mechanisms. At the end of a four hour store, debunched beam can easily account for more than 30% of the total beam intensity. This effect is even stronger with the achieved high intensities of the RHIC run 2004. A beam abort at the presence of a lot of debunched beam bears the risk of magnet quenching and experimental detector damage due to uncontrolled beam losses. Thus it is desirable to avoid any accumulation of debunched beam from the beginning of each store, in particular to anticipate cases of unscheduled beam aborts due to a system failure. A combination of a fast transverse kicker and the new 2-stage copper collimator system is used to clean the abort gap continuously throughout the store with a repetition rate of 1 Hz. This report gives an overview of the new gap cleaning procedure and the achieved performance.

  Electrons could in principle accumulate in the potential of coasting beams of positively charged particles until a balance between the beam force and space charge force from the electrons is reached. But the continuous interaction between a non-ideal perturbed coasting beam and the cloud of electrons being trapped by it, together with the reflection and secondary emission processes at the inner pipe wall, can alter this picture and cause a combined cloud or beam transverse instability long before the concentration of electrons reaches the theoretical equilibrium value. The issue is addressed in this paper by means of combined build-up and instability simulations carried out with the HEADTAIL code.

  For a detailed analysis of the dynamics of space charge dominated beams a combination of Particle-in-Cell methods with efficient FDTD schemes is widely used. Besides the calculation of the forces acting on the particles the interaction of the beam itself with the surrounding geometries is taken into account. A drawback of this method is its sensitivity to numerical noise in the spectral range nearby the grid cutoff frequency. In this paper we will present results of detailed studies of the impact of the bunch shape on the level of the numerical noise. Furthermore an a priori scheme for efficient noise suppression is derived which does not affect the FDTD update algorithm.

  During one millisecond of injection stacking, the RF beam current varies from 0 to 50 Amperes. The control loops of the RF system are operative throughout this process. Acceptable setpoints will be found during commissioning, but as vacuum tubes age and beam currents increase these setpoints will become less optimal. A scheme by which the system can optimize itself is presented.
