Description

The Belle II experiment is a substantial upgrade of Belle detector and will operate at the SuperKEKB energy-asymmetric $e^+e^-$ collider, which has started commissioning and is working towards its design luminosity of $8 \times 10^{35}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$. The Belle II experiment aims to record 50 ab$^{-1}$ of data, a factor of 50 more than the Belle experiment. This large data set will be accumulated with low backgrounds and high trigger efficiencies in a clean $e^+e^-$ environment and will provide unprecedented sensitivity to new physics signatures in $B$ and $D$ meson decays as well as $\tau$ lepton decays. This talk will review the present status of the detector upgrade, and the physics capabilities of this experiment.
