Beam-Beam Interaction at the PEP-II E+ E- Collider
The PEP-II B-Factory at SLAC (3.1 GeV e{sup +} x 9.0 GeV e{sup -}) operated from 1999 to 2008, delivering luminosity to the BaBar experiment. The design luminosity was reached after one and a half years of operation. PEP-II ultimately surpassed by four times its design luminosity reaching 1.21 x 10{sup 34} cm{sup -2} s{sup -1}. It also set world records for stored beam currents of 2.1 A e{sup -} and 3.2 A e{sup +}. Continuous injection was implemented with BaBar taking data. The total delivered luminosity to the BaBar detector was 557.4 fb{sup -1} spanning five upsilon resonances. PEP-II was constructed by SLAC, LBNL, and LLNL with help from BINP, IHEP, the BaBar collaboration, and the US DOE OHEP. In order to reach four times the design luminosity the PEP-II accelerator had to manage higher beam currents, lower {beta}{sub y}*s, more bunches, and increased beam-beam tune shifts. In this note the effects of these changes on the beam-beam interaction are discussed.
