As part of the Beam Energy Scan (BES) physics program, RHIC operated in Fixed Target mode at various beam energies in 2020. The fixed target experiment, achieved by scraping the beam halo of the circulating beam on a gold ring inserted in the beam pipe upstream of the experimental detectors, extends the range of the center-of-mass energy for BES. The machine configuration, control of rates, and results of the fixed target experiment operation in 2020 will be presented in this report.

RHIC provided Au-Au collisions at beam energies of 5.75 and 4.59 GeV/nucleon for the physics program in 2020 as a part of the Beam Energy Scan II experiment. The operational experience at these energies will be reported with emphasis on their unique features. These unique features include the addition of a third harmonic RF system to enable a large longitudinal acceptance at 5.75 GeV/nucleon, the application of additional lower frequency cavities for alleviating space charge effects, and the world-first operation of cooling with an RF-accelerated bunched electron beam.

In order to minimize the systematic errors for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) spin physics experiments, flipping the spin of each bunch of protons during the stores is needed. Experiments done with single RF magnet at energies less than 2 GeV have demonstrated a spin-flip efficiency over 99%. At high energy colliders with Siberian snakes, a single magnet spin flipper does not work because of the large spin tune spread and the generation of multiple, overlapping resonances. Over past decade, RHIC spin flipper design has evolved and a sophisticated spin flipper, constructed of nine-dipole magnets, was developed to flip the spin in RHIC. A special optics choice was also used to make the spin tune spread very small. In recent experiment, 97% spin-flip efficiency was measured at both 24 and 255 GeV for the first time. The results show that efficient spin flipping can be achieved at high energies.

The Electron Ion Collider will collide hadrons in the Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) with ultra-relativistic electrons in the Electron Storage Ring. The HSR design trajectory includes a large radial shift over a large fraction of its circumference, in order to adjust the hadron path length to synchronize collisions over a broad range of hadron energies. The design trajectory goes on-axis through the magnets, crab cavities and other components in the six HSR Insertion Regions. This paper discusses the issues involved and reports on past and future beam experiments in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, which will be upgraded to become the HSR.
