  The number of bunches in the PEP-II B-Factory has increased over the years. The luminosity followed roughly linear that increase or even faster since we also lowered the spot size at the interaction point. The recent steps from 933 in June of 2003 to about 1320 in February 2004 should have been followed by a similar rise in luminosity from 6.5·1033 1/cm2 1/s to 9.2·1033 1/cm2 1/s. This didn't happen so far and a peak luminosity of only 7.3·1033 1/cm2 1/s was achieved. By filling the then partially filled by-3 pattern to a completely filled by-3 pattern (1133 bunches) should even give 7.9·1033 1/cm2 1/s with scaled currents of 1400 mA (HER) and 1900 mA (LER). We are typically running about 1300 mA and 1900 mA with 15% more bunches. The bunch pattern is typically by-2 with trains of 14 bunches out of 18. The parasitic beam crossings or electron cloud effects might play a role in about a 10% luminosity loss. Also the LER x-tune could be pushed further down to the ½ integer in the by-3 pattern. On the other hand we might not push the beam-beam tune shift as hard as in June of 2003 since we started trickle injection and therefore might avoid the highest peak luminosity with a higher background. A mixed pattern with a by2-by3 setup (separation of 2, 3, 2, 3 ?) would give totally filled a slightly higher number of bunches (1360), but near the interaction point there would be only one parasitic crossing per beam lowering the tune shift by two.

  The Low Energy Ring of the PEP-II B-factory operates with extremely high currents and short positron bunches. Any discontinuity in the vacuum chamber can excite a broad-band spectrum of the High Order Modes. A temperature rise has been found in the vacuum chamber elements in one transition from straight section to arc. The power in the wake fields was high enough to char beyond use the feed-through for the Titanium Sublimation Pump. This pumping section consists of the beam chamber and an ante-chamber. Fields, excited in the beam chamber penetrate to the ante-chamber and then through the heater wires of the TSP come out. A small ceramic tile was placed near the TSP feed-through to absorb these fields. A short wire antenna was also placed there. HOM measurements show a wide spectrum with a maximum in the 2-3 GHz region. A special water cooled HOM absorber was designed and put inside the ante-chamber part of the section. As a result, the HOM power in the section decreased and the temperature rise went down. The power loss is 750 W for a beam current of 2 A. Measurements of the HOM impedance for different bunch patterns, bunch length and transverse beam position will be presented.

  Design studies are underway to arrive at a complete parameter set for a very high luminosity e+e- Super B-Factory (SBF) in the luminosity range approaching 1036/cm2/s. The design is based on a collider in the PEP-II tunnel but with an upgraded RF system (higher frequency), magnets, vacuum system, and interaction region. The accelerator physics issues associated with this design are reviewed as well as the site and power constraints. Near term future studies will be discussed.

  PEP-II is an e+e- B-Factory Collider located at SLAC operating at the Upsilon 4S resonance. PEP-II has delivered, over the past four years, an integrated luminosity to the BaBar detector of over 175 fb-1 and has reached a luminosity over 7.4x1033/cm2/s. Steady progress is being made in reaching higher luminosity. The goal over the next few years is to reach a luminosity of at least 2x1034/cm2/s. The accelerator physics issues being addressed in PEP-II to reach this goal include the electron cloud instability, beam-beam effects, parasitic beam-beam effects, trickle injection, high RF beam loading, lower beta y*, interaction region operation, and coupling control.
