Elementary Particle Physics Seminar

Belle II and SuperKEKB are the upgrades to the very successful Belle and KEKB B-factory. The goal of this new effort is to increase the data set by a factor of 50 enabling the search for physics beyond the standard model at the intensity frontier. Data taking started in early 2019, and I will describe the new detector and accelerator, give its present status, show some preliminary results, and estimate future prospects.
