Description

The SuperKEKB energy-asymmetric $e^+e^-$ collider has now started commissioning and is working towards its design luminosity of $8 \times 10^{35}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$. The collisions will be recorded and analyzed with the Belle II spectrometer, the construction of which is on-going at the roll-out position. Highlights will include the outcome of Phase I commissioning of the SuperKEKB accelerator, BEASTII background commissioning and the most recent progress on the construction of the Belle II detector.
