  SuperKEKB is an electron-positron double-ring asymmetric-energy collider to search new physics phenomena appeared in B-boson decays. In order to accomplish this purpose, the huge statics, it is necessary for 40 times the luminosity as high as the predecessor KEKB collider. The strategy is that the vertical beta function at the IP is squeezed down to 1/20 and the beam currents doubles those of KEKB while keeping the same beam-beam parameter. The vertical beta function at the IP will be much smaller than the bunch length, however, the hourglass effect which degrades the luminosity will be reduced by adopting a novel ‘‘nano-beam’ scheme. First of all, the Phase 2 commissioning was focused on the verification of nano-beam scheme. Secondary, beam related background at the Belle II detector was also studied for the preparation of the pixel vertex detector installed before the Phase 3 operation. The preliminary results and accomplishments of the commissioning in Phase 2 will be reported in this article.

  The phase-2 commissioning of the SuperKEKB accelerator with the interaction point(IP) has been performed from March 19 to July 17. In the collision operation during this commissioning, the vertical beta function at the IP was squeezed down to 3mm. In order to achieve such low beta collision operation, many optics corrections were performed. We present the result of those optics measurement and correction.

  Phase 2 commissioning of the SuperKEKB electron-positron collider has been performed with final focus optics from February 8 to July 17, 2018. The main aims of Phase 2 commissioning were to verify the novel nano-beam collision scheme and achieve the machine luminosity O(1034 cm-2s-1). The beam instruments including the bunch-by-bunch feedback and orbit feedback systems, which are central to the beam diagnostics at SuperKEKB, were successfully operated throughout Phase 2. In this talk, we will present the commissioning results focusing on beam diagnostics and show prospects for the final phase of commissioning from next spring.
