Tracking studies on RHIC for the emittances and momentum spreads necessary for operation at 30 and 100 GeV/nucleon have been made when the effects of random and systematic magnet errors are included. All test particles are stable for the emittances required. Tune shifts from systematic b/sub 2/ are compensated by the chromaticity correcting sextupoles of the arcs. Tune shifts from systematic b/sub 3/ and b/sub 4/ are compensated by correction coils placed adjacent to the arc quadrupoles. The emittances required for operation are significantly smaller than the emittance corresponding to the dynamic aperture.
