Analysis and modeling of proton beam loss and emittance growth in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory has been operating since 2000. Over the past decade, thanks to the continuously increased bunch intensity and reduced β^{*}s at the interaction points, the peak luminosity in the polarized proton operation has been increase...
