	Injection and acceleration of ions in a lower charge state reduces space charge effects, and, if further electron stripping is needed, may allow elimination of a stripping stage and the associated beam losses. The former is of interest to the accelerators of the GSI FAIR complex, the latter for BNL RHIC collider operation at energies lower than the current injection energy. Lower charge state ions, however, have a higher likelihood of electron stripping which can lead to dynamic pressures rises and subsequent beam losses. We report on experiments in the AGS where Au³¹⁺ ions were injected and accelerated instead of the normally used Au⁷⁷⁺ ions. Beam intensities and the average pressure in the AGS ring are recorded, and compared with calculations for dynamic pressures and beam losses. The experimental results will be used to benchmark the STRAHLSIM dynamic vacuum code and will be incorporated in the GSI FAIR SIS100 design.

	A dual partial snake scheme has been used for AGS polarized proton operation for several years. It has provided polarized proton beams with 1.5*10¹¹ protons per bunch and 65% polarization for the RHIC spin program. There is still residual polarization loss due to both snake resonances and horizontal resonances. Several schemes were tested in the AGS to mitigate the loss. This paper presents the experiment results and analysis.

	Polarimetry based on proton carbon elastic scattering in the Coulomb Nuclear Interference (CNI) region has been utilized for Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). They have been critical tools for polarized proton acceleration setup and provided polarization values for RHIC experiments. This paper summarizes the recent modifications to the hardware and electronics. The performance of the polarimeters is also discussed.
THPC023	Optimization of the AGS Superconducting Helical Partial Snake Strength	3026
	F. Lin, H. Huang, A. U. Luccio, T. Roser BNL, Upton, Long Island, New York
	Two helical partial snakes, one is superconducting (called cold snake) and one is normal conducting (called warm snake), have preserved the polarization of proton beam up to 65% at the AGS extraction energy with the inject 82% polarization. In order to overcome the spin resonances, stronger partial snake is required. However, the stronger partial snake, the more titled stable spin direction that results in stronger horizontal intrinsic resonance. The balance between raising the spin tune gap generated by the snakes and reducing the titled stable spin direction has to be considered to maintain the polarization. Because the magnetic field of the warm snake is constant, only the cold snake with a maximum 3T magnetic field can be varied to find out the optimized snake strength. The paper presents the simulation results from the spin tracking with different cold snake magnetic fields. Some experimental data are also analyzed.

	This year deuterons and gold ions were collided in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) for the first time since 2003. The setup and performance of the collider for this run is reviewed with a focus on improvements that have led to an order of magnitude increase in luminosity since the 2003 run.

	During Run-8, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) provided collisions of spin-polarized proton beams at two interaction regions. Helical spin rotators at these two interaction regions were used to control the spin orientation of both beams at the collision points. Physics data were taken with different orientations of the beam polarization. We present recent developments and improvements as well as the luminosity and polarization performance achieved during Run-8.
