Abstract

Optics correction is an important issue in the KEKB B-factory. Especially, the correction of beta functions is performed so as to reach near half-integer resonance of the horizontal betatron tune as closely as possible. Consequently, the luminosity can be improved during experiments of the B-meson in ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ collisions. Therefore, we have developed a correction method of the beta function not only at the designed beam energy, but also at an energy deviated from the nominal value. We present the procedures used to measure the behavior of the beta function, which depends on the momentum deviation, and the results compared with the model optics in the KEKB rings.
