The PEP-II B-factory at SLAC has recently experienced unexpected beam losses due to anomalously high radiation levels at the BaBar detector. The problem was finally traced to the occurrence of very high pressure (>100 nTorr) spikes that have a very short duration (few seconds). We describe the events and show analysis predicting where in the vacuum system the events originated and describe what was discovered in the vacuum system.

The PEP-II B-Factory uses multiple feedback systems to stabilize the orbits of its stored beams and to optimize their performance in collision [1]. This paper describes an upgrade to the feedback system responsible for optimizing the overlap of colliding beams at the interaction point (IP). The effort was motivated by a desire to shorten the response time of the feedback, particularly in the context of machine-tuning tasks. We describe the original feedback system, the design for the new one, and give a status report on the installation.
