With the completion of a major upgrade phase, the RHIC heavy ion luminosity increased more than 4x, to now 25x the design value. The upgrade was based on the implementation of 3D stochastic cooling, the first operational cooling system in a hadron collider. With a physics program for another decade further RHIC upgrades aim for another doubling of the high-energy heavy ion and polarized proton luminosities, and an order of magnitude increase in the low-energy luminosity. New devices for these upgrades include a 56 MHz SRF cavity, electron lenses for head-on beam-beam compensation, and a non-magnetized bunched beam electron cooler. The second part of the talk will present plans for a muSR facility based on the exsisting hadron complex. Such a facility could offer pulsed and DC muon beams with a short switching time.
