| The superconducting crab cavities for KEKB were
constructed and installed into KEKB electron-positron
collider in January 2007. After cool-down of the crab
cavities, the commissioning of the crab cavities started in
February 2007 and continued until end of June. Effective
head on collision of electron and positron has been
achieved successfully for the first time during this spring
operation of the KEKB. A luminosity of above
10^34/cm2/sec could be obtained at high beam currents
operation (1.3A in the low energy positron and 0.7A in
high energy electron). | |

| KEKB HER(high Energy ring) operating stably by
using 8 superconducting cavities. The Maximum current
is more than 1.4 A, so the HOM(higher order mode)
power of each cavity is as high as 16 kW, and the beam
power of 400kW is handled by each cavity. To increase
beam current more than 2 A and future Super KEKB
project, HOM dampers of 3 mm thick ferrite have been
constructed to test higher absorbing power of more than
40 kW. The construction of input coupler for 500 kW
operation power is also starting with new industry TiNOx
coating. | |

| Feasibility study of the superconducting cavity for 1.3
GHz ERL (Energy Recovery Linac) main linacs has
started under the collaboration of KEK, JAEA and
University of Tokyo. The development effort was
concentrated to optimize the cavity shape to sufficiently
suppress the beam instabilities for the desired accelerating
beam of 100 mA with the recovery beam of 100 mA. Our
final shape has a 9-cell structure with beam pipes of a
large diameter on both sides. BBU simulation on dipole
modes showed the BBU current limit of more than 600
mA without any randomize of HOM frequencies. HOM
power absorbed by the dampers is estimated as 100 W for
monopole modes. For the damping of quadrupole modes a
new idea of mode conversion using an eccentric fluted
beam pipe (EFB) is proposed and simulated. This simple
way can take out the quadrupoles to the beam pipe easily.
For the establishment of a manufacturing process and the
performance of the cavity shape, two single cavities one
of which has the EFB have been fabricated and measured.
Shape optimizing study, fabrication and some
measurement results will be presented. | |

| Two KEKB type HOM damped SC cavities were
constructed during past three years. These SC modules
were re-designed to meet the RF frequency of 500 MHz
of the BEPCII, the upgrade project of the Beijing Electron
and Positron Collider, and have already been operated
smoothly. It is a product of the successful collaboration
among Mitsubishi Electric Co. (MELCO), KEK and
IHEP of China. The cavity modules were fabricated and
surface-treated by MELCO with the help and support of
KEK. The vertical test of niobium cell, and the high
power test of couplers and dampers were carried out in
KEK, and the final acceptance tests were done in IHEP. | |

| Two Crab cavities were fabricated at KEK in 2006.
After the completion of the assembly, a horizontal test is
normally carried out for a superconducting cavity in KEK.
The horizontal test is an overall test for the cavity without
a beam. Both cavities achieved above an operational kick
voltage of 1.4MV. Although the HER (High Energy Ring
for electron) Crab cavity had no trouble, the LER (Low
Energy Ring for positron) had a trouble of tuner operation.
Due to the limited time, both cavities were installed into
the tunnel at the beginning of Jan. in 2007. After the beam
commissioning, it was found that this problem was not so
much significant for the operation. The LER Crab cavity
is being operated above 1A at present. | |

| In this article, we'll introduce the RF system of
BEPCII to readers. It consists of 4 subsystems:
superconducting cavity, high power klystron, cryogenic
system and LLRF. The construction of the RF system had
been finished in late 2006. During the last year of running
till now, it has performed very well. | |

| Two superconducting crab cavities were installed in the
KEKB rings and the crab crossing operation started early
in 2007. Each crab cavity has two ferrite RF absorbers
(HOM dampers), which were developed for the
superconducting accelerating cavities of KEKB. One is
attached in a beam pipe and the other is attached in a
coaxial coupler. The dampers have to damp not only the
higher order modes but the lower order modes, since the
crabbing mode is not the lowest mode. These parasitic
modes should be sufficiently damped for the high current
operation. Several antennas were set on the beam pipe to
monitor beam-induced RF modes. The most dangerous
mode, TM010-like mode, was detected in the RF
spectrum. However, its Q-factor was below the instability
criterion and consistent with the measured value at the
horizontal test before installation. No dangerous modes
with high Q-factor were observed in the beam-induced
RF spectrum. KEKB stored the beam currents of 1.7A and
1.35 A in the low energy positron ring and the high energy
electron ring, respectively. No serious beam instabilities
caused by the parasitic modes were observed and the
HOM dampers successfully absorbed the beam-induced
RF power up to 12 kW. We will present HOM dampers
used for the KEKB crab cavities, and measurement results
of the beam-induced RF modes and RF power. Simulation
results for the beam-induced RF power will be also
discussed. | |

| Two heavily damped superconducting crab cavities were
installed in KEKB, one for the low-energy positron ring
(LER) and the other for the high-energy electron ring
(HER). After adjusting the RF system and conditioning the
cavities, beam operation started in February 2007. During
the four-and-a-half-month operation until summer shut
down, the crab cavities have been operating very stably
to conduct crab crossing experiment. They have shown
excellent performance with high stored beam currents up
to 1.7 A in the LER and 1.35 A in the HER. It was also
demonstrated that the crab crossing works at a high luminosity
over 10^34/cm2s that exceeds the KEKB design luminosity.
Machine tuning with crab crossing will continue
for achieving a big boost in luminosity, as expected from
beam-beam simulations. In this paper, we present an RF
system for the crab cavities, commissioning process, performance
of the crab cavities with high-current beams, and
beam-loading-related issues on the crabbing mode. | |
