Description
The Belle detector at the KEKB electron-positron collider has collected nearly 1~ab$^{-1}$ of data in its decade of operation. The KEKB group has proposed Super-KEKB, an upgrade of KEKB to increase the luminosity by two orders of magnitude during a three-year shutdown, with an ultimate goal of 8 x 10^35/cm^2/s luminosity. To exploit the improved luminosity, an upgrade of the Belle detector has been proposed. A new international collaboration Belle-II, is being formed. Super-KEKB and Belle-II were officially placed on the KEK 5-year Roadmap in early 2008.
