  The Positron Damping Ring (DR) for SuperKEKB successfully started its operation in February 2018, and the commissioning was continued until the end of SuperKEKB Phase 2 in July without serious troubles. This paper describes achievements of the beam commissioning of injection and extraction lines (LTR and RTL) between the LINAC and DR. In the LTR commissioning, the positron beam with high emittance, wide energy spread, and high charge were transported and injected into the DR. In the RTL commissioning, special cares were necessary to preserve the low emittance. The observed emittance growth in the RTL was not a problem for Phase 2, but it should be resolved in the coming Phase 3. In this paper, brief results of the commissioning of the DR is also reported.

  In the upgrade from the KEKB to the SuperKEKB, approximately 93% and 20% of the beam pipes and vacuum components of the positron ring and the electron ring were replaced with new ones. In the Phase-1 commissioning in 2016, vacuum scrubbing and confirmation of the stabilities of new vacuum components at approximately 1 A were carried out. Though some problems such as pressure bursts accompanying beam losses were revealed, no serious problem was found in the vacuum system. During the subsequent shutdown, the countermeasures against the problems were taken, and new beam pipes and components such as beam collimators were installed. The Phase-2 commissioning, where beam collision tuning was mainly performed, was carried out from March to July 2018. The collimators worked very well to suppress the background noise of the Belle-II detector, though some of them were damaged by the beam. The frequency of the pressure burst drastically decreased though the typical beam currents were lower than those of the Phase-1. The vacuum system of the SuperKEKB has been working generally well so far. The total beam doses of the SuperKEKB exceeded 1000 Ah, and the pressures decreased as expected.
