Abstract :
For polarized protons in RHIC, two Siberian snakes and four spin rotators per ring will be used. Snakes, 180° apart, and with their axis of spin precession at 90° to each other, are an effective means to avoid depolarization through resonances. Spin rotators, in pairs, rotate the spin from the vertical to the horizontal and back at an interaction. They are needed to study proton collisions with the spin in the horizontal plane
