SuperKEKB is the upgrade plan of the current B-factory experiment with the KEKB accelerator at KEK. Its luminosity is designed to be 8x10³⁵ /cm²/s (40 times higher than KEKB) and the integrated luminosity is expected to be 50 ab-1. In SuperKEKB, it is important to evaluate the beam induced BG and design the interaction region (IR) to assure the stable detector operation. To estimate the beam induced BG, we construct the beam-line simulation based on the GEANT4 simulation. In this paper, we report the BG evaluation and the IR design for SuperKEKB.

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.
