Sumario:The RHIC luminosity upgrade program aims for an increase of the polarized proton luminosity by a factor 2. To achieve this goal a significant increase in the beam intensity is foreseen. The beam coupling impedance represents a source of detrimental effects for beam quality and stability at high bunch intensities. In this paper, we evaluate the global transverse impedance in both the AGS and RHIC with measurements of tune shift as a function of bunch intensity. The results are compared to past measurements and the present impedance model. First attempts at transverse impedance localization are as well presented for the RHIC Blue ring.
