  To compensate the large beam-beam tune spread and beam-beam resonance driving
terms in the polarized proton operation in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider
(RHIC), we will introduce a low-energy DC electron beam into each ring to
collide head-on with the opposing proton beam. The device to provide the
electron beam is called an electron lens. In this article, using a 6-D
weak-strong-beam-beam interaction simulation model, we investigate the effects
of head-on beam-beam compensation with electron lenses on the proton beam
dynamics in the RHIC 250 GeV polarized proton operation. This article is
abridged from the published article [1].
