Abstract :
The history of the KEKB commissioning is characterized by struggles with three obstacles, namely the electron-cloud instability, the beam-beam blowup and beam current limitations from many reasons. A rapid improvement in the luminosity in this year (2001) has been made by progress in each of these three problems. This report summarizes this year´s progress of the KEKB accelerator, since the history of prior days is covered by other reports
