  The e/e+ SuperKEKB collider is now under commissioning. As e/e+ beam injection for SuperKEKB greatly depends on the efforts during the previous KEKB project, the injection developments during KEKB are outlined as well as the improvements towards SuperKEKB. When KEKB was commissioned, approximately ten experimental runs per day were performed with e/e+ injections in between. As another collider PEP-II had a powerful injector SLAC, the KEKB injector had to make a few improvements seriously, such as injection of two bunches in a pulse, continuous injection scheme, eventual simultaneous top-up injections, as well as many operational optimizations. The design of SuperKEKB further required the beam quality improvements especially in the lower beam emittance for the nano-beam scheme, as well as in the beam current for the higher ring stored current and the shorter lifetime.

  SuperKEKB is an electron-positron double ring collider at KEK which aims at a peak luminosity of 8 x 1035 cm-2s-1 by using what is known as the ’nano-beam’ scheme. A luminosity dither system is employed for collision orbit feedback in the horizontal plane. This paper reports a system layout of the dither system and algorithm tests during the SuperKEKB Phase 2 commissioning.

  Eight superconducting accelerating cavities were operated for more than ten years at the KEKB. Commisioning operation of SuperKEKB is ongoing and those cavities are also used to accelerate the electron beam of 2.6 A. There are some issues to address the large beam current and to realize stable operation. One issue is a large HOM power of 37 kW expected to be induced in each cavity module. To cope with the HOM power issue, we have installed an additional HOM damper to the downstream of the cavity module. Another issue is degradation of Q values of the cavities during the ten years operation. Cause of the degradation was particle contamination. To clean the cavity surface, high pressure rinsing (HPR) is an effective way. Therefore we have developed a horizontal HPR. In this method, a nozzle for water jet is inserted horizontally into the cavity module without disassembly of the cavity. We applied the horizontal HPR to our degraded cavities. The RF performances of those cavities have been successfully recovered. In this report, present status of our cavity will be presented. Additionally, LLRF control issues for SuperKEKB will be introduced.

  KEKB/SuperKEKB cryogenics operation will be introduced. KEKB was built in the tunnel of the TRISTAN accelerator. The TRISTAN accelerator was operated from 1986 to 1995. The superconducting acceleration cavities were installed in 1988 to increase the beam energy. The cryogenic system for superconducting cavities was also established simultaneously. In 1989 superconducting cavities were added, and cryogenic systems were also enhanced from 4kW to 6.5kW. KEKB took over many facilities from TRISTAN. The cryogenic system for superconducting cavities is one of them. This old refrigerator is used also in SuperKEKB. In operation of the cryogenic system, it is necessary to cool down the equipment from room temperature. In KEKB, its cooling rate of cavities are limited to 2.5~3K/h. In the steady state, the pressure and the liquid level in the superconducting cavity cryomodule should be kept constant. To keep the condition in the cryomodule stably, the sum of the heat generated by RF and the heater is controlled as constant. In KEKB/SuperKEKB, superconducting magnets are also used. They have their own refrigerator. In the workshop, they are also introduced.
