Optics Setup in the AGS and AGS Booster for Polarized Helion Beam

Future RHIC physics program calls for polarized helion beam. The helion beam from the new EBIS source has a relative low rigidity which requires delicate control of injection and RF setup in the Booster. The strong depolarization resonance strength in both AGS and AGS Booster requires careful consideration of beam energy range and optics setup. Recently, the unpolarized helion beam was accelerated to 11GeV/n in the AGS. The optics with special tune path has been tested in both AGS and the Booster. The near term goal of 4×10/bunch at RHIC injection requires several RF bunch merges in both AGS and the Booster. The beam test results are presented in this paper.
