In preparation for the start of experiments using the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), several significant upgrades and improvements were made at the Tandem Van de Graaff. Ion source developments have increased the beam current injected into the tandem, while improvements in foil manufacture and quality control have resulted in better transmission and longer lifetimes for the carbon stripper foils. An oscillating stripper foil chamber has been successfully operated in the high voltage terminal. These improvements have increased the amount of gold ions available from the tandem to 9x10 9 ions per pulse, which is a factor of three increase in the last 3 years.A second tandem Van de Graaff is presently being upgraded and connected to the tandem-to-booster transfer line. Once the upgrade is complete both tandems will have the ability to deliver ions to RHIC. It will also be possible for one tandem to inject RHIC while the other provides beam to a local target room, or to an application facility at the AGS Booster.

Burn-off dominated uranium and asymmetric copper-gold operation in RHIC

In 2012 the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider collided uranium-uranium ions with a particle energy of 96.4 GeV=nucleon and copper-gold (Cu-Au) ions at 100 GeV=nucleon for the first time. 3-dimensional stochastic cooling became operational for the first time and greatly enhanced the luminosity. Together with a new lattice configuration, we achieved a burn-off dominated uranium beam lifetime at physics stores. In the asymmetric Cu-Au collision, we observed an increased Cu beam loss stemming from different intrabeam-scattering and cooling rates between the Au and Cu ion bunches. By intentionally slowing down the cooling rate for the Au beam at the beginning of store, we reduced the Cu beam loss and maximized the integrated luminosity.
