  The electron-positron collider KEKB B-factory is currently being upgraded to SuperKEKB. The design luminosity of 8 x 1035 /cm2/s will be achieved using beams with low emittance of several nm and doubling beam currents to 2.6 A in the electron ring (HER) and 3.6 A in the positron ring (LER). A beam position monitor (BPM) system of HER and LER will be equipped with super-heterodyne detectors, turn by turn log ratio detectors with fast gates to measure optics parameters during collision operation and detectors of BPMs near the collision point (IP) for orbit feedback to maintain stable collision. New X-ray beam profile monitors based on the coded aperture method will be installed aiming at bunch by bunch measurement of the beam profile. A large angle beamstrahlung monitor detecting polarization of the synchrotron radiation generated by beam-beam interaction will be installed near IP to obtain information about the beam-beam geometry. The bunch by bunch feedback system will be upgraded using low noise frontend electronics and new 12 bits iGp digital filters. An overview of beam instrumentation of SuperKEKB rings will be given in this paper.

The ATF2 extraction line is used as a test-bed for technologies needed for the ILC final-focus region. An x-ray extraction beam line has been constructed at the final upstream bend before the extraction line straight section, for development and testing of optics and readout systems for a coded aperture-based imaging system. The x-ray monitor is expected to eventually be able to measure single-shot vertical bunch sizes down to a few microns in size at its source location in the ATF2 extraction line. Preliminary scanned measurements have been made with beams in the ~15 micron range, and it is planned to make more measurements with further-tuned beam, and with fast read-out electronics. The details of the layout, expected performance, and preliminary measurement results will be presented.

  KEKB has stopped since June 2010 for upgrading the luminosity 40 times, i.e. SuperKEKB. During the operation of 11 years, a pair of controlled beam abort systems worked more than 10000 times to protect the hardware components of KEKB accelerator and the detector against the high intensity beams of LER and HER. Optimization of the abort trigger was necessary to balance efficient operation with the safety of the hardware. Therefore, we analyzed one-by-one all of the aborts, and continually adjusted the abort system. The diagnostic system was based on a high-sampling-rate data logger that recorded beam currents, RF signals and beam loss monitor signals. The beam oscillation signals, vacuum pressure and detector dose rate were also examined. This paper describes the typical abort causes, optimizations of abort levels, and abort statistics over approximately eight years after having arrived at high beam current operation.

  The SuperKEKB accelerator, a 40x luminosity upgrade to the KEKB accelerator, will be a high-current, low-emittance double ring collider. The beryllium primary extraction mirrors used for the synchrotron radiation monitors at KEKB suffered from heat distortion due to incident synchrotron radiation, leading to systematic changes in magnification with beam current and necessitating continuous monitoring and compensation of such distortions in order to correctly measure the beam sizes. The heat loads on the extraction mirrors will be higher at SuperKEKB, with heat-induced magnification changes up to 40% expected if the same mirrors were used as at KEKB. We are working on a design based on mirrors made of quasi-monocrystalline diamond, which has much higher heat conductance and a lower thermal expansion coefficient than beryllium. With such mirrors it is targeted to reduce the beam current-dependent magnification effects to the level of a few percent at SuperKEKB. Measurements of heat-induced deformations on fabricated prototype mirrors will be presented, along with comparisons with the results of numerical simulations.
