  • Abstract
    The commissioning of the KEKB B-Factory storage rings started on Dec. 1, 1998. The two rings both achieved a stored current of over 0.5 A after operating for four months. The two beams were successfully collided several times. The commissioning stopped on Apr. 19, taking a 5-week break to install the Belle detector
