DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Kodai Matsuoka (KEK)\n\nNOTE NON-STANDARD DAY OF THE
  WEEK.\n \nJust as deep mysteries have historically triggered paradigm sh
 ifts in physics\, the profound mysteries of the universe now compel partic
 le physics to establish a new theoretical framework beyond the Standard Mo
 del—one capable of describing the very high-energy particles of the earl
 y universe. With no consensus yet on the field's next guiding principles\,
  discovering new particles or phenomena is crucial to opening the door to 
 a new era of physics. The Belle II experiment has the potential to discove
 r physics at very high energy scales—otherwise directly unreachable by c
 urrent accelerator technology—through high-precision measurements that e
 xploit its unique experimental features. We are now driving the frontier o
 f precision measurements across a diverse range of topics\, including heav
 y-flavor quarks and leptons\, the dark sector\, and hadrons. These measure
 ments rely on the vast datasets provided by the SuperKEKB electron-positro
 n collider. SuperKEKB has achieved the world's highest luminosity (the bea
 m collision performance)\, powered by the novel "nano-beam" collision sche
 me and other pioneering technologies\, and continues to push its performan
 ce boundaries. It also serves as a vital demonstrator for a future Higgs f
 actory. Furthermore\, major upgrades of the accelerator and detector plann
 ed for the long shutdown starting in 2032 will extend the Belle II physics
  reach. I look forward to sharing the excitement of this project and the a
 nticipation of discoveries.\n \nJoin videoconference\n\nhttps://indico.bn
