  SuperKEKB aims for high luminosity on the order of 1035 cm-2s-1 with beam currents of 2.6 A for electron and 3.6 A for positron to search new physics beyond the Standard Model in the B meson regime. In recent operations, we achieved a new record of luminosity of 4.65×1034 cm-2s-1 with 1.1 A for electron and 1.3 A for positron. The SRF system that was designed for KEKB, the predecessor of SuperKEKB, is operating stably with the high beam currents owing to the measures against the large beam powers and the large higher-order-mode (HOM) powers. As a measure against the large beam powers, our SRF cavities have increased a coupling of high-power input couplers during the KEKB operation. As a measure against the large HOM power, newly developed SiC HOM dampers have been installed in the SuperKEKB ring. In addition, we have established the horizontal high-pressure rinse method to recover the cavity performance that has degraded due to vacuum works and accidents in the long-term operation. In this report, we will present our operation experience of SRF system under the high beam currents.

  SuperKEKB is an e⁻e⁺ collider, which is an upgraded accelerator of KEKB with the aim to increase the luminosity by more than one order. The superconducting cavities are used in the electron ring. The superconducting cavities were designed as a HOM-damped structure for KEKB and were operated up to 1.4 A in KEKB. However, the design storage current of the electron ring for SuperKEKB is 2.6 A, which is about twice the achievement current of KEKB. The HOM power is estimated to increase from 16 kW, which is the performance value in KEKB, to over 35 kW. This large load is unacceptable for the ferrite HOM dampers mounted on both sides of the cavity. As a countermeasure, duct type SiC HOM dampers are inserted between the cavities. The HOM damper load tests were performed during normal beam operation with a maximum current of 1.1 A. The load on the downstream ferrite HOM damper decreased due to the HOM power absorbed by the upstream SiC damper. In addition, the load was found to be dependent on the beam filling pattern. We will present the results and discussion of beam tests on the loading of HOM dampers and the dependence on the beam filling pattern in SuperKEKB.
