  The SuperKEKB collider is under construction to achieve 40-times higher luminosity than that of previous KEKB collider. The injector LINAC should provide high-intensity and low-emittance beams of 7-GeV electron and 4-GeV positron for SuperKEKB based on a nano-beam scheme. A photocathode RF-gun for low emittance electron beam has been already installed and the commissioning has started. The construction of positron capture section using a flux-concentrator and the dumping ring for low emittance positron beam is in progress. The simultaneous top-up injections to four storage-rings including photon factories is also required. In the upstream of dumping ring, the compatible optics between positron and electron has been designed. In the downstream of dumping ring, RF phase, focusing, and steering magnets will be switched by pulse to pulse against each beam-mode for optimising beam-transportation. This paper describes recent upgrade status toward the SuperKEKB.

  In order to produce positrons, intensive pulsed electron beam is used to strike on a tungsten target. The energy deposition is distributed non-uniformly over the target, leading to a mechanical stress. As a result of large thermal gradient, the target could be potentially damaged. To avoid the target destruction, the peak energy deposition density (PEDD) in the target should be well below the critical limit (35J/g) based on the SLAC operational experience. With an expected primary electron spot size on the target of the SuperKEKB positron source, the PEDD will exceeds the limit. We will introduce a beam spoiler to enlarge the spot size by multiple scattering in thin beam screen and aluminum plate. It reduces the PEDD down to half of the limit. This paper describes the design of the spoiler and the beam screen system used in the positron beam commissioning of the SuperKEKB positron source started in 2014.

  In order to keep high luminosity beam collision condition at SuperKEKB, low emittance electron/positron injection and flexible pulse-to-pulse switching of these beam modes are essential requirements. While a primary electron beam strikes on a target to generate positrons, an injection electron beam passes through a small hole besides the target. Since the injection electron orbit should be on axis to avoid emittance growth, the target and the flux concentrator for positron focusing have a few millimeters offset from the axis. This offset positron generation gives significant degradation in the positron yield. In this paper, we will discuss positron yield improvement by proper orientation of the cut-in slit of the flux concentrator which yields un-symmetric field distribution and primary electron incident point. With particle tracking simulation taking three dimensional field distribution into account, an ideal positron trajectory giving optimum yield was found.

  The KEKB positron source is under the upgrade for SuperKEKB. The previous positron production target and capture section have been removed and the new system is constructed at a location forty meters upstream to have sufficient energy margin for beam injection to the newly introduced damping ring. A flux concentrator is introduced in the new capture section to make an adiabatic matching system. Large aperture (30mm in diameter) S-band accelerating structures are introduced in the capture section and in the subsequent accelerator module to enlarge the transverse phase space acceptance. The beam focusing system of quadrupoles is also upgraded for a comparable beam acceptance to that of the capture section. This paper reports on the status of the SuperKEKB positron source construction and the preliminary positron beam commissioning.

  The misalignment of the linac beamline components amounted to be a millimeter level during the operation of KEKB, though the requirement of 0.1mm in mind. The limited effort toward improving such big misalignments has long been pursued but could not finish especially after the earthquake in March 2011. This linac is now under upgrade to the SuperKEKB, where the required alignment is 0.1mm in σ for the short distance in 100m span, while 0.3mm through the whole linac for the emittance preservation. The straight line as a reference for the alignment was defined by laser beam over 500m. The actual hardwares are set with respect to this reference line by using a laser tracker. The alignment present status is reported in this paper. On the other hand, we noticed, through the alignment measurements over months, that the tunnel floor moved in the range of 0.1mm or maybe more. The evaluation of this movement is on-going to discuss about how to achieve the required emittance and how to keep the situation. Various measurements to evaluate the movement are presented also in the paper.

  The beam line of the KEKB injector linac is under realignment as the restoration after the big Earthquake in 2011, but with the refinement for the SuperKEKB in mind. The linac consists of two straight sections connected by a 180 degree ARC. Precise alignment of the ARC magnets is one of the key issues for the emittance preservation of the electron beam. The ARC beam line was defined by measuring these two straight lines. Then, the misalignment of the ARC magnets were reduced from 3 mm maximum down to 0.1mm in the errors perpendicular to the beam direction. This paper describes how we defined the ARC beam line and performed the alignment. The connection method of the laser tracker data needed for the definition of the ARC was also studied and described.

  Comparing to the previous KEKB, the four-times higher charge of 4 nC per bunch is required for the injector linac of SuperKEKB. Not only a flux concentrator will be introduced but also the physical aperture of the downstream six 2m-long accelerator structures was increased as large as 30mm in diameter. We call these structures as LAS, “Large Aperture S-band” structure. The resultant higher RF group velocity of about 3% makes the acceleration gradient lower. In the nominal acceleration system, a 40MW klystron with SLED feeds four 2m-long accelerator structures producing 20MV/m acceleration field. The acceleration gradient higher than 14 MV/m is required for the very first two LAS structures to suppress the satellite bunches. This gradient is obtained by feeding only two LAS structures. Initially, ten LAS structures were installed and the RF processing has partly started. In the present paper, we firstly describe the acceleration system design and then present the processing characteristics through the RF processing without beam and with beam.
