KEK is studying the design of the interaction region quadrupoles for the SuperKEKB of which the two beams of 4GeV/7GeV for LER/HER have a crossing angle of 83 mrad. For each beam, the final beam focusing system consisting of superconducting and permanent magnets is studied. The superconducting quadrupoles close to the interaction point for each beam are located in the compensation superconducting solenoid which cancels the solenoid field by the particle detector, Belle. These magnet parameters are optimized to obtain higher luminosity. In this paper, the design progress of final focusing system and magnets will be reported.

To supply the electrical power for the superconducting correctors in the interaction region of the proposed SuperKEKB, a kind of vapor cooled current leads is designed, which consists of 8 brass leads and can transport currents to 4 correctors simultaneously. The design current of the leads is about 50 A. The thermal and electrical behaviors have studied by the finite elements method and the cryogenic experiment is also planed to validate the performance. In this paper the design will be presented and the finite element model will be compared with the experimental data.

Super-KEKB, an upgrade plan of the present KEKB collider, has recently changed its scheme from 'high current' option to 'nano-beam' scheme. In the latter the current is relatively low(4A/2.3A for LER/HER ring) compared to that of the high-current option(9.4A/4.1A), while the vertical beam size is squeezed to 60 nm at the interaction point to get the high luminosity. The emittance of the injected beam should be low and, since the Tousheck lifetime is very short(600 sec), the intensity of the positron beam is as high as 8 nC/pulse. For the electron beam a low-emittance high-intensity RF gun is adopted. For the positron beam a damping ring has been proposed. The design of the damping ring has been performed for the high-current option*. In this paper an updated design for the nano-beam scheme is presented.

KEKB is an e-/e⁺ collider for the study of B physics and is also used for machine studies for future machines. The peak luminosity of KEKB, which is the world-highest value, has been still increasing. This report summarizes recent progress at KEKB.
