In recent years the proton and ion beam intensity (as well as the current density) at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory improved considerably. Thanks to an upgrade of the polarized proton source we plan to increase the proton intensity to 3.0·1011 per bunch. In order to accommodate the amplified beam-beam effect originating from proton beams with this unprecedented intensity, a beam-beam compensation scheme with a new lattice and two electron lenses (e-lenses) was installed, commissioned and began operation during the 2015 polarized 100 GeV proton Run.
