Elementary Particle Physics Seminar
in 435 Physics
Speaker: Dan Cronin-Hennessy, University of Minnesota
Subject: Status of the BESIII Experiment
The BEPC-II accelerator is a two ring e+e- collider in Beijing, China. The collider's energy is tuned for the charm threshold region. First collisions were observed by the BES-III detector in July of 2008. These data will be used to test predictions of Lattice QCD, extract CKM matrix elements and search for exotic hadron states with gluonic content. I will describe the accelerator, detector and the physics goals of the experiment.
