Abstract :
Since the beginning of the currently ongoing RHIC run a transverse injection damper is available. The damper is based on a fast kicker module in combination with a HV power supply and fast HV switches. This system can damp one injected bunch at the time with a given kick amplitude ("bang-bang mode") for several hundred turns. This report gives an overview of the injection damping system and summarizes its performance and our experience during the first months of usage.
