Title :
Operation of the Brookhaven AGS with the Booster

Abstract :
The Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) received protons directly from a linac and heavy ions directly from a tandem van de Graaff before 1992. The newly constructed Booster has been brought on line to serve as an injector for the AGS. The operational status of the acceleration of proton and heavy ions through the Booster and the AGS is reviewed. Accelerator improvement programs to increase proton intensity for physics research and to prepare heavy ion beams for RHIC injection are discussed
