The operation of the SuperKEKB has been ongoing since 2016. The vacuum systems of the main ring (MR) which consists of a 7-GeV electron ring (HER) and a 4-GeV positron ring (LER), the damping ring (DR) for 1.1 GeV positrons in the middle of the injector linac have been working well as a whole. As of June 2022, the maximum stored beam currents of MR are 1.46 and 1.14 A for the LER and the HER, respectively, and approximately 30 mA for the DR. The pressure increase per unit beam current is steadily decreasing and the new vacuum components developed for the SuperKEKB have been working as expected. No significant electron cloud effect has been observed in the LER after installing solenoids in drift spaces in 2017 which apply magnetic fields in the beam direction. The recent pressure behavior of the LER with increased beam current is explained by considering thermal gas desorption induced by the beam as well as photon-stimulated gas desorption. Currently, the beam lifetime is primarily limited by the Touschek effect rather than the vacuum pressure, and their degrees of contribution are evaluated. The challenges associated with high beam currents, such as damage to beam-collimator heads and excess heating of beam pipes at wiggler sections have become more apparent as beam currents are increased. The status of the SuperKEKB vacuum system and the experiences during the past 6 years of operation are presented here. |
