Description

We report on the construction and plans for initial operation of Belle II and SuperKEKB. The new facility will be an upgrade of the existing KEKB electron-positron collider, with a target luminosity of 8 x 10^{35} /cm^2/s - about 40 times greater than that of KEKB. The Belle II detector will study rare flavor physics processes with unprecedented sensitivity for indirect (virtual-particle) contributions from as-yet unexplored phenomena at the TeV scale.
