Abstract
In polarized proton operation the luminosity of RHIC is limited by the head-on beam-beam effect, and methods that mitigate the effect will result in higher peak and average luminosities. Two electron lenses, one for each ring, are being constructed to partially compensate the head-on beam-beam effect in the two rings. An electron lens consists of a low energy electron beam that creates an amplitude dependent transverse kick of the same value but opposite sign as the proton beam. We discuss design considerations and present the main parameters.
