The 3-D luminosity distribution at the IP of the SLAC B-Factory is monitored using e+ e- -> e+ e-, mu+ mu- events reconstructed online in the BaBar detector. The transverse centroid and spatial orientation of the luminosity ellipsoid provide a reliable monitor of IP orbit drifts. The longitudinal centroid is sensitive to small variations in the average relative RF phase of the beams and provides a detailed measurement of the phase transient along the bunch train. Relative variations in horizontal luminous size are detectable at the micron level. The longitudinal luminosity distribution depends on the e± overlap bunch length and the vertical IP beta-function beta*y. In addition to continuous online monitoring of all the IP parameters above, we performed detailed studies of their variation along the bunch train to investigate a temporary luminosity degradation. We also used controlled variations in RF voltage and beam current to extract separate measurements of the e+ and e- bunch lengths. The time-history of the beta*y measurements, collected over a year of routine high-luminosity operation, are compared with HER & LER phase-advance data periodically recorded in single-bunch mode.

We present a novel method to characterize the e ± phase space at the IP of the SLAC B-factory, that combines single-beam measurements with a detailed mapping of luminous-region observables. Transverse spot sizes are determined in the two rings with synchrotron-light monitors & extrapolated to the IP using measured lattice functions. The 3-D luminosity distribution, as well as the spatial dependence of the transverse-boost distribution of the colliding beams, are measured using e+ e- –> mu+ mu- events reconstructed in the BaBar tracking detectors; they provide information on the luminous spot size, the e- angular divergence & the vertical emittance. The specific luminosity, which is proportional to the inverse product of the overlap IP beam sizes, is continuously monitored using Bhabha-scattering events. The combination of these measurements provide constraints on the horizontal & vertical spot sizes, angular divergences, emittances & beta functions of both beams at the IP during routine high-luminosity operation. Preliminary results of this combined-spot size analysis are confronted with measurements of IP beta-functions & overlap IP beam sizes at low beam current.

We present a novel approach to characterize the colliding-beam phase space at the interaction point of the energy-asymmetric PEP-II B-Factory. The method exploits the fact that the transverse-boost distribution of e+ e- –> mu+ mu- events reconstructed in the BaBar tracking system, reflects that of the colliding electrons & positrons. The average boost direction, when combined with the measured orientation of the luminous ellipsoid, determines the e+e- crossing angles. Varying the horizontal direction of one beam with respect to the other in a controlled fashion allows to estimate the individual e+ and e- horizontal IP beam sizes. The angular spread of the transverse boost vector provides an accurate measure of the angular spread of the incoming high-energy beam, confirming the presence of a significant beam-beam induced increase of this angular spread. In addition, the longitudinal dependence of the angular spread of the boost vector in the y-z plane allows to extract from the continuously-monitored boost distributions, a weighted average of the vertical IP beta-functions & emittances of the two beams representative of routine high-luminosity operation.

For the PEP-II Operation Staff: PEP-II is an asymmetric e+e- collider operating at the Upsilon 4S and has recently set several performance records. The luminosity has exceeded 1x1034/cm2/s and has delivered an integrated luminosity of 728/pb in one day. PEP-II operates in continuous injection mode for both beams, boosting the integrated luminosity. The peak positron current has reached 2.94 A and 1.74 A of electrons in 1732 bunches. The total integrated luminosity since turn on in 1999 has reached over 333/fb. This paper reviews the present performance issues of PEP-II and also the planned increase of luminosity in the near future to over 2 x 1034/cm2/s. Upgrade details and plans are discussed.
