The latest performance report from the AGS on polarized proton acceleration highlights a polarization of 65% with an intensity of 1.4e11. Emittances are approximately 18π in both planes at AGS flattop. This remains significant, especially for horizontal emittance, even post-tuning jump quads. Key measurements include vertical timing and the effects of various settings on emittance blowup, momentum scraping, and orbit deviations. Furthermore, the report covers optics measurement, calibration results, and the high injection tune assessment.
