	RHIC operation as the polarized proton collider presents unique challenges since both luminosity and spin polarization are important. A lot of upgrades and modifications have been made since last polarized proton operation. A 9 MHz rf system has been installed to improve longitudinal match at injection and to increase luminosity. A vertical survey of RHIC was performed before the run to get better magnet alignment. The orbit control has also been improved this year. AGS polarization transfer efficiency is improved by a horizontal tune jump system. To preserve polarization on the ramp, a new working point was chosen with the vertical tune near a third order resonance. The orbit and tune control are essential for polarization preservation. To calibrate the polarization level at 250 GeV, polarized protons were accelerated up to 250GeV and decelerated back to 100GeV. The tune, orbit and chromaticity feedback is essential for this operation. The new record of luminosity was achieved with higher polarization at 250 GeV in this run. The overview of the changes and operation results are presented in this paper.

	The study of polarization is essential for e+/e^- colliders like the SuperB machine. The ZGOUBI integrator is a good and universal tool for particle tracking as well as spin tracking, and takes into account all machine realistic aspects, like real fields, non-linearities, fringing fields or misalignments. We present ZGOUBI implementation and the methods carried out to estimate invariant spin field and beam polarization evolution on some simple models (for validation) and on SuperB, and we investigate for some specific polarization behavior.

The study of polarization is essential for e+/e^- colliders like the SuperB machine. The ZGOUBI integrator is a good and universal tool for particle tracking as well as spin tracking, and takes into account all machine realistic aspects, like real fields, non-linearities, fringing fields or misalignments.
