Description

SuperKEKB is a challenging project to explore new luminosity frontiers beyond 1035 cm-2s-1 by upgrading the KEKB collider, the asymmetric-energy electron-positron collider currently providing the highest luminosity (1.58 x 1034 cm-2s-1) on the planet. The design luminosity of SuperKEKB is 4 x 1035 cm-2s-1, where the beam currents need to be increased up to 4.1 A and 9.4 A for the high energy ring (8 GeV) and the low energy ring (3.5 GeV), respectively. In this report, the overall design of SuperKEKB is introduced and followed by RF and vacuum technological issues related to the high current beam
