Luminosity performanceLuminosity performanceNeed a factor of 3 to achieve the
design luminosity goal Current luminosity limit
◦Beam-beam interaction Cause emittance growth through non-
linear resonance and other effects. Current pp workpoint at (0.695,0.685)
hits the limit by 3Qx resonance and 10Qx,y
◦E-cloud: possibly an additional source of emittance growth
Polarization performancePolarization performanceAchieved 100% polarization

Polarized proton development Polarized proton development planplan
Polarization:◦Improve the orbit control to achieve
an orbit distortion of 0.3mm or better during the acceleration from 100 GeV to 250 GeV
◦Improve the betatron tune and coupling control: Tune/coupling feedback
◦Snake current setting: spin tune measurement
Need polarized proton to continue the RHIC pp 500 GeV commissioning
