            Abstract : 
Wake fields defining beam stability affect also the beam optics and beam properties in high current machines. We present observations and analysis of the optical effects in the PEP-II SLAC B-factory, which has the record in achievement of high electron and positron currents [1]. We study the synchronous phase and the bunch length variation along the train of bunches, and overall bunch lengthening.
