Abstract

A number of upgrades are planned for the Brookhaven accelerator facility that is primarily made of RHIC and its injector, the AGS. The RHIC luminosity and proton polarization are to evolve towards the Enhanced Design parameters by 2008. A new Electron Beam Ion Source is under development, and commissioning is expected in 2009. The aim of the RHIC II upgrade is to increase the heavy ion luminosity by an order of magnitude, through electron cooling in store. With the addition of an electron ring, the high-luminosity electron-ion collider proposal eRHIC can be realized. Ways to increase the luminosity beyond the RHIC II values are under study. The use of superbunches in RHIC requires a different mode of operation. Studies have also been done for a new injector to the AGS replacing the present Booster for an upgrade of the beam average power to 1-4 MW at 28 GeV. The new injector matching the AGS repetition rate can be either a 1.5-GeV SCL or a 1.5-GeV FFAG accelerator. With the upgrade of the injector, neutrino superbeams could be produced.
