Collisions with beams of highly asymmetric rigidities (proton-Gold and proton-Aluminum) were provided for the RHIC physics programs in 2015. Magnets were moved for the first time in RHIC prior to the run to accommodate the asymmetric beam trajectories during acceleration and at store. A special ramping scheme was designed to keep the revolution frequencies of the beams in the two rings equal. The unique operational experience of the asymmetric run will be reviewed.

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has two main operating modes with heavy ions and polarized protons respectively. In addition to a continuous increase in the bunch intensity in all modes, two major new systems were completed recently mitigating the main luminosity limit and leading to significant performance improvements. For heavy ion operation stochastic cooling mitigates the effects of intrabeam scattering, and for polarized proton operation head-on beam-beam compensation mitigated the beam-beam effect. We present the performance increases with these upgrades for heavy ions and polarized protons, as well as an overview of all operating modes past and planned.

To reduce the technical risk of the future electron-ion collider eRHIC currently under study at BNL, the ring-ring scheme has been revisited over the summer of 2015. The goal of this study was a design that covers the full center-of-mass energy range from 32 to 141 GeV with an initial luminosity around 1033 cm-2 sec-1, upgradeable to 1034 cm-2 sec-1 later on. In this presentation the baseline design will be presented, and future upgrades will be discussed.

High electron beam polarization (70-80%) is required in the future electron-ion collider eRHIC over the whole electron beam energy range from 5 GeV to 20 GeV. This paper analyzes important aspects for achieving a high electron polarization level in the ring-ring design option of eRHIC and presents the design of spin rotators required to generate the longitudinal polarization orientation at the interaction point. Experiment considerations require bunch spin patterns with both spins up and down. A highly polarized beam will be produced by a photo-injector, accelerated to full collision energy by an injector accelerator and injected into the storage ring. Beam depolarization time in the storage ring has to be minimized in the presence of spin rotators, detector solenoid and damping wiggler, which establishes specific requirements for the ring lattice.
