Abstract
“The KEK B-meson Factory is a high energy electron-positron collider being constructed in the 3-km circumference underground tunnel of the National laboratory for High Energy Physics (KEK) in Tsukuba, Japan. This new accelerator is designed to provide a hundred million pairs of B and B-meson each year. It will start data runs in early 1999.
The BELLED Detector is a giant particle telescope to be built at the KEK B-meson Factory by a collaboration of about 250 scientists from 45 institutions in 8 countries. The BELLE Detector will record the collisions of the asymmetric high energy lepton collider: an 8 GeV electron beam onto a 3.5 GeV positron beam. The data are expected to solve the long-standing puzzle of CP violation in elementary particle physics.
