The successful commissioning and operation of the PEP-II asymmetric e+e- collider motivated further studies to increase luminosity. In this paper, we discuss a modification of the PEP-II lattice to reduce the vertical beta function at the Interaction Point (IP) from the design value of 1.5cm to 1.0cm. This could potentially reduce the colliding beam size, increase particle density at the IP and the probability of beam-beam interactions. In this paper, we outline the optics modifications, discuss tracking simulations, and overview machine implementation.

The PEP-II interaction region is designed to accommodate asymmetric beam energies, head-on collisions, small bunch spacing and provide low beta* for high luminosity. Local correction schemes are implemented to compensate non-linear chromaticity from the IP doublets as well as coupling, orbit and focusing effects from the 6 Tm asymmetric detector solenoid. The main IR optics features and local correction schemes are presented. MAD code is used for the optics calculations.
Beam-beam simulations predict that PEP-II luminosity can be increased by operating the horizontal betatron tune near and above a half-integer resonance. However, effects of the resonance and its synchrotron sidebands significantly enhance betatron and chromatic perturbations which tend to reduce dynamic aperture. In the study, chromatic variation of horizontal tune near the resonance was minimized by optimizing local sextupoles in the Interaction Region. Dynamic aperture was calculated using tracking simulations in LEGO code. Dependence of dynamic aperture on the residual orbit, dispersion and distortion of beta function after correction was investigated.
At present, the PEP-II bunch length and vertical beta function at the Interaction Point (IP) are about of the same size. To increase luminosity, it is planned to gradually reduce the IP beta function. For the maximum effect, bunch length has to be also reduced to minimize luminosity loss caused by the hourglass effect at IP. One of the methods to achieve a smaller bunch length is to reduce momentum compaction factor. This paper discusses a lattice option for the High Energy Ring, where the nominal 60 degree cells in four arcs are replaced by 90 degree cells to reduce momentum compaction factor by 30% and bunch length by 16%. The increased focusing in 90 degree cells results in 40% stronger arc quadrupoles and 150% stronger arc sextupoles due to reduced dispersion and larger chromaticity. Tracking simulations predict that dynamic aperture for this lattice will be more than 10 times the rms size of a fully coupled beam for a horizontal emittance of 30 nm and IP beta function of 1cm. The lattice modification and results of simulations are presented.
Low-beta radio-frequency accelerating structures are used in the sections of a linear accelerator where the velocity of the particle beam increases with energy. The requirement for space periodicity to match the increasing particle velocity led to the development of a large variety of structures, both normal and superconducting, which are described in this lecture.
The J-PARC linac was consist of 324MHz low-{beta} section and 972MHz high-{beta} section. There is a total of 48 stations. And each station was equipped with an independent LLRF (Low-Level Radio Frequency) system to realize an accelerating field stability of $pm1$% in amplitude and $pm1${deg} in phase. For these llrf system, some of them, especially the 324MHz low-{beta} section, had already been used for more than 10 years. Due to lack of supply, it had become more and more difficult to do the system maintain. And in the near future, the beam current of j-parc linac was planned to increase to 60mA. At that time, the current system will face a huge pressure in solving the beam loading effect. Considering these, a new digital llrf system was developing at j-parc linac. In this paper, the architecture of the new system will be reported. The performance of system with a test cavity is summarized.
