A global linear decoupling in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is going to be performed with the three families of skew quadrupoles. The operating horizontal and vertical betatron tunes in the RHIC will be separated by one unit [nu][sub x]=28.19 and [nu][sub y]=29.18. The linear coupling is corrected by minimizing the tune splitting [Delta][nu]-the off diagonal matrix [bold m] (defined by Edwards and Teng). The skew quadrupole correction system is located close to each of the six interaction regions. A detail study of the system is presented by the use of the TEAPOT accelerator physics code.
