Description
The Belle II detector is a general-purpose detector located at the SuperKEKB particle collider (the highest luminosity collider ever). It is the successor experiment to Belle and BaBar, whose experimental confirmation of B-meson CP violation predicted by the Kobayashi-Masakawa theory led to the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics.
This intro talk will give you a quick walkthrough of how the highest precision collider experiment in the world is built and operated by over a thousand scientists and what kind of Physics it seeks to achieve.
