The Effect of the Stripping Foil SA on the Injection Beam of RHIC

The characteristics of the stripping foil have been calculated by Dr. M.J. Rhoades-Brown. There is some difference between the results and those data published in the blue book. The beam transport line with low β waist for foil SA has been described. But considering that, between UQ3 and UQ4 most space is filled by soil and a lot of constructional work will be needed in order to install quadrupoles between UQ3 and UQ4, two new lattices with the required low β waist are found. In this paper, these new low β waist lattices of the beam transport line between AGS and RHIC are described and the effects of the stripping foil SA on the injection beam of RHIC are calculated using the new dates in reference 1.
