  The Belle experiment, operated at the asymmetric electron-positron collider KEKB, had accumulated a data sample with an integrated luminosity of more than 1 ab−1 before the shutdown in June 2010. We have started upgrading both the accelerator and the detector, SuperKEKB and Belle-II, to achieve the target luminosity of 8×1035 cm−2 s−1. With the increased luminosity, the beam background will be severe. The development of Machine- Detector Interface (MDI) design is crucial to cope with the increased background and protect Belle-II detector. We will present the estimation of impact from each beam background sources at SuperKEKB, such as Touschek-scattering, Beam-gas scattering, radiative Bhabha process, etc.. We will also present our countermeasures against them, such as collimators to stop scattered beam particles, Tungsten shield to protect inner detectors from shower particles, and dedicated beam pipe design around interaction point to stop synchrotron radiation, etc.

Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) has proved to be very sensitive tool to characterize materials and study defects. However PALS has been restricted to thin samples because of the limited range of positrons in materials. We have developed new techniques for PALS, in which laser Compton scattered (LCS) gamma rays are used to produce positrons inside materials via pair production. Ultra-short gamma ray pulse source* with pulse width of 5 ps (FWHM) generated by 90-degree collision LCS was applied to PALS for the first time. The short pulse width of the gamma-rays that is negligible compared to estimated positron lifetime (100 ps to ns range) is essential to PALS. The experiment was carried out at the UVSOR-II electron storage ring, a 750 MeV synchrotron light source. The positron annihilation lifetime, 199 ± 10 ps, in a bulk sample of lead was successfully measured by using the ultra-short gamma ray pulse.
