Abstract

Belle II is a Super B Factory experiment, expected to record 50 ab−1 of e+e− collisions at the SuperKEKB accelerator over the next decade. The large samples of B mesons, charm hadrons, and tau leptons produced in the clean experimental environment of e+e− collisions will provide the basis of a broad and unique flavor-physics program. Belle II will pursue physics beyond the Standard Model in many ways, for example: improving the precision of weak interaction parameters, particularly Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements and phases, and thus more rigorously test the CKM paradigm, measuring lepton-flavor-violating parameters, and performing unique searches for missing-mass dark matter events. Many key measurements will be made with world-leading precision.
