	Eight superconducting accelerating cavities were operated for more than ten years at the KEKB machine. Those cavities are also used at SuperKEKB. During the KEKB operation, Q values of some cavities were degraded. Cause of the degradation was contamination by air dusts at a repair of vacuum seals or a gasket replacement of input couplers. So far, those degradations are acceptable for the SuperKEKB operation, however, further degradation will make the operation unstable and, in the worst case, make it impossible. High pressure rinsing (HPR) is an effective method to clean the cavity surface. In order to apply HPR, however, the cavity has to be disassembled from a cryomodule. The disassembly takes time and costs. Furthermore, re-sealed vacuum flanges bring the risk of vacuum leakage again. Therefore we have developed a horizontal HPR. This method applies a high pressure water jet that is inserted horizontally into the cavity in the cryomodule. The wasted water is extracted with an aspirator. This method does not require the disassembly. We applied the horizontal HPR to our degraded cavity. Its RF performance has been successfully recovered.

	Eight superconducting accelerating cavities were stably operated under a high beam current and a large beam induced HOM power in KEKB electron ring. The HOM power of 16 kW at the beam current of 1.4A was absorbed in two ferrite dampers attached to each cavity. In SuperKEKB, that is the upgrade machine of KEKB, the design beam current is 2.60 A. The HOM power of higher than 40 kW is expected to be induced. To cope with the large HOM power, precise evaluations of HOM power loads including HOM dampers were carried out. Then, new ferrite dampers with reinforced water cooling were developed and high-power tested. On the other hand, the evaluation indicated that an additional HOM damper can absorb significant amount of HOM power. Additional damper is effective to reduce each ferrite damper load. In this report, we will describe the results of high power tests of the new ferrite dampers, studies for additional dampers, and an installation plan for SuperKEKB.
