  To satisfy the requirements of high beam quality for positron injection into the SuperKEKB main ring, a new damping ring (DR) is constructed in an upgraded injector system. The DR is a racetrack-shaped storage ring with a circumference of 135.5 m, in which the 1.1 GeV positron beam is stored for 40 ms to damp the emittance. The maximum stored beam current is 70.8 mA. Required beam lifetime due to residual gas scattering is longer than 1000 s and the average pressure should be lower than 10-5 Pa. Non-evaporable getter (NEG) pumps are mainly used, and the average effective pumping speed for CO is expected to be 0.013 m3s−1m-1 immediately after NEG activation. The beam pipes are made of aluminum alloy, and have antechambers to deal with synchrotron radiation (critical energy 0.8-0.9 keV, total power 7.2 kW) in arc sections, which are effective in reducing the electron cloud and the impedance of the beam pipes. As additional countermeasures against the electron cloud effect, TiN coating and grooved surfacing are also adopted. The commissioning of the DR will commence at the beginning of 2018. The status of the vacuum system of the DR during the first commissioning will be reported.

  The SuperKEKB is an electron-positron collider with asymmetric energies in KEK aiming an extremely high luminosity of 8x1035 cm-2 s-1 using a nano-beam scheme. In the Phase 1 commissioning from February to June, 2016, the vacuum system of the main ring worked well as a whole at stored beam currents of approximately 1 A. However, the localized pressure bursts accompanied by beam losses were observed in the positron ring. The beam loss monitors triggered beam aborts, and the phenomena has became an obstacle to the beam commissioning. These pressure bursts were frequently observed from the early stage of the commissioning. Most of the pressure bursts occurred near or inside of aluminum-alloy beam pipes in dipole magnets, which have grooved surface at the top and bottom sides. The various observations indicates that the most probable cause of this phenomenon was the collision between the dusts dropped from the grooves and the circulating positron beam. We report the properties and the probable causes of the pressure bursts, and the possible mitigation methods. Some results of the countermeasures taken prior to the ongoing Phase-2 commissioning will be also presented.

  The SuperKEKB is an electron-positron collider with asymmetric energies in KEK aiming an extremely high luminosity of 8.0·1035 /cm2/s. In the Phase-1 commissioning from February to June, 2016, the vacuum system of the main ring worked well as a whole at stored beam currents of approximately 1 A. However, several problems were found for the future commissioning, and various countermeasures were taken against these problems during the shutdown period before starting the Phase-2 commissioning. For example, permanent magnets were placed around the beam pipe to suppress the electron cloud effect in the positron ring. Other than these works, new beam pipes for the collision point, the super-conducting final focusing magnets and the positron beam injection region were installed in the main ring. Additional six beam collimators were installed for reducing background noise of the particle detector. Furthermore, the vacuum system for new damping ring for the positron beam was constructed. Reported here will be the present status of the vacuum system of the main ring, and major results of the countermeasures taken prior to the Phase-2 commissioning.
