Description

Four additional superconducting cavities were installed in the KEKB HER ring in August 2000. Up to now the superconducting cavities have been operated under a beam of 870 mA in the HER. The input coupler has been used to feed a power exceeding 380 kW stably with high current. We describe the status of conditioning for four couplers. The KEKB coupler has multipacting power levels below 300 kW. After enough processing with bias voltage, no pressure increase could be observed at power feeds up to 300 kW. RF processing with bias voltage is effective in suppressing multipacting. We will discuss the multipacting power levels, the discharge near the window and processing for beam operation. (author)
