Status of head-on beam-beam compensation in RHIC

2013

In polarized proton operation the RHIC performance is limited by the head-on beam-beam effect. To overcome this limitation two electron lenses are under commissioning. We give an overview of head-on beam-beam compensation in general and the specific design for RHIC, which is based on electron lenses. The status of installation and commissioning are presented along with plans for the future.
