  VEPP-2000 electron-positron collider construction has been completed in the Budker INP at the beginning of 2007 year. First beam was captured in a special lattice without final focus solenoids. In this regime all systems of power supplies, machine control and beam diagnostics were calibrated and tuned. In the same mode vacuum chamber treatment by synchrotron radiation was performed with electron beam current up to 150 mA. The first test of the round beam option was performed at the energy of 508 MeV with the solenoidal field 10 T in two interaction straight sections. Studies of the beam-beam interaction have been done in "weak-strong" and "strong-strong" regimes. Measurements of beam sizes in the both cases have indicated a beam behavior similar to expectations for the round colliding beams.

  BEPCII is the upgrade project of Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC), serving continuously for both high energy physics experiment and light soure use. As an e+-e- collider, BEPCII will operate in the beam energy region of 1-2.1 GeV with design luminosity of 1*1033cm-2s-1 at 1.89 GeV. The beam commissioning of BEPCII storage rings started out in Nov. 2006. From Nov. 2006 to Aug. 2007, the phase one commissioning was carried out successfully with the so called backup scheme adopting conventional magnets in the IR intead of the superconducting insertion magnets (SIM). After the SIM was intalled into the interaction region, phase two commissioning began in Oct. 2007. The tuning method for high luminosity but low background was extensively studied during phase two, and the beam current has reached more than 1/3 of the design of 0.91 A. The third phase of beam commissioning is planned in May this year after the detector is moved into the on-line position. It is expected that the luminosity would reach to about 30% of its design specification. This paper describes the procedure of beam commissioning of BEPCII and focuses on results of its second phase.
