Experimental Prospects
The SuperB collider is a novel asymmetric e+e- collider, capable of reaching luminosities beyond 10^36 cm-2s-1 with beam currents comparable to those at the current generation B factories. Many of the components of the PEP-II collider can be used in SuperB. The low currents also allow the use of BABAR as the basis for a detector upgrade. The very high luminosity, together with the ability to...

Experimental Prospects
We report the status of the accelerator and detector design
for the KEK Super B factory, which is part of the KEK roadmap,
the laboratory's plan for the next five years. The KEK Super B
factory will be based on an upgrade of the
existing KEKB accelerator and will reuse parts of the Belle detector.

Experimental Prospects
A project for the continuation of the KLOE physics program with an upgraded detector has been proposed for running at the upgraded phi-factory collider DAFNE of the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati of INFN. The new experiment will profit of the higher luminosity of the machine and of a better coverage of the zone close to the interaction region both for tracks and for photons.

Experimental Prospects
A review will be given on the status of CMS completion and readiness for data taking. The commissioning procedure and results for the different detectors commissioning campaigns will be summarized. The operation and performance of the whole detector during the cosmic ray data taking campaign will be reviewed.

Experimental Prospects
Looking towards first LHC collisions, the ATLAS detector is being commissioned using all types of physics data available: cosmic rays and events produced during a few days of LHC single beam operations. In addition to putting in place the trigger and data acquisition chains, commissioning of the full software chain is a main goal. This is interesting not only to ensure that the reconstruction,...

Experimental Prospects
Theorists' projections of beyond-the-SM discoveries at 14 TeV of LHC proton-proton collisions come with interesting challenges for experimentalists. The CMS trigger system has been designed to cope with unprecedented luminosities and accelerator bunch-crossing rates of up to 40 MHz. We will discuss the difficulties of event selection in the harsh LHC environment and the trigger strategies that...

Experimental Prospects
We present a model independent analysis approach, systematically scanning the data for deviations from the Standard Model Monte Carlo expectation. Such an analysis can contribute to the understanding of the detector and the tuning of the event generators. Furthermore, due to the minimal theoretical bias this approach is sensitive to a variety of models of new physics, including those not yet...

Experimental Prospects
To do precise CP violation measurements, it is necessary a very accurate determination of the flavour of the B-meson. This contribution explains and summarizes the flavour tagging performances for the LHCb experiment. This is obtained through a combination of several methods, based on different signatures, as for example the charge of decay products or the vertex charge of the opposite B. The...
