The SuperB project aims at the construction of an asymmetric (4x7 GeV), very high luminosity, B-Factory on the Roma II (Italy) University campus. The luminosity goal of 1036 cm-2 s-1 can be reached with a new collision scheme with large Piwinski angle and the use of “crab” sextupoles. A crab-waist IR has been successfully tested at the DAPHNE Phi-Factory at LNF-Frascati (Italy) in 2008. The crab waist together with very low beta* will allow for operation with relatively low beam currents and reasonable bunch length, comparable to those of PEP-II and KEKB. In the High Energy Ring, two spin rotators permit bringing longitudinally polarized beams into collision at the IP. The lattice has been designed with a very low intrinsic emittance and is quite compact, less than 2 km long. The tight focusing requires a sophisticated Interaction Region with quadrupoles very close to the IP. A Conceptual Design Report was published in March 2007, and beam dynamics and collective effects R&D studies are in progress in order to publish a Technical Design Report by the end of 2010. A status of the design and simulations is presented in this paper.

In 2007 DAΦNE was upgraded to operate in a regime of large Piwinski angle, with a novel IR optics, reduced vertical beta at the interaction point, and additional sextupoles providing for crab waist collisions. The specific luminosity was boosted by more than a factor of four, and the peak luminosity was more than doubled with respect to the maximum value obtained with the original collider configuration. The DAΦNE commissioning as well as the first experience with large Piwinski angle and crab waist collisions scheme will be reported.

A novel scheme of crab waist collisions has been successfully tested at the electron-positron collider DAΦNE, Italian Phi-factory. In this paper we compare numerical simulations of the crab waist beam-beam interaction with obtained experimental results. For this purpose we perform weak-strong and quasi strong-strong beam-beam simulations using a realistic DAΦNE lattice model that has proven to reproduce reliably both linear and nonlinear collider optics.

The beam is injected into the CLIC damping ring with the relatively large emittance and energy spread and then is damped to the extremely low phase volume. During the damping process the betatron frequency of each particle changes due to the space charge tune shift and nonlinear detuning produced by the chromatic sextupoles, wiggler nonlinear field components and by the space charge force. During the damping, the particle cross resonances, which can trap some fraction of the beam, cause the loss of intensity, the beam blow up and degrade the beam quality. In this paper we study the evolution of the beam distribution in time during the damping.
