The Belle II experiment features a substantial upgrade of the Belle detector and will operate at the SuperKEKB energy-asymmetric e+e− collider at KEK in Tsukuba, Japan. The accelerator completed its first phase of commissioning in 2016, and the Belle II detector saw its first electron-positron collisions in April 2018. Belle II features a newly designed silicon vertex detector based on double-sided strip layers and DEPFET pixel layers. A subset of the vertex detector was operated in 2018 to determine background conditions (Phase 2 operation). The collaboration completed full detector installation in January 2019, and the experiment started full data taking. This paper will report on the final arrangement of the silicon vertex detector part of Belle II with a focus on online monitoring of detector conditions and data quality, on the design and use of diagnostic and reference plots, and on integration with the software framework of Belle II. Data quality monitoring plots will be discussed with a focus on simulation and acquired cosmic and collision data.

The BESIII is a general-purpose experiment for studying electron-positron collisions at BEPCII which is located at IHEP, Beijing, China. It works in the τ-charm region mainly. Several world’s largest samples in this region had been collected. The BESIII DQM is a lightweight online data quality monitoring (DQM) solution at BESIII. It uses the full offline reconstruction software to reconstruct a part of data for real-time monitoring the data quality. The document gives an overview of the BESIII DQM system, including the framework, main components and data flow. The DQM system separates online DAQ and offline software environment as much as possible and is easy to expand.

The Belle II experiment is an upgrade of the Belle detector and will operate at the SuperKEKB energy-asymmetric e^+e^-e+e− collider. The accelerator has already successfully completed the first phase of commissioning and first electron positron-collisions in Belle II were observed in April 2018. The design luminosity of SuperKEKB is 8x10^{35}35 cm^{-2}−2s^{-1}−1 and the Belle II experiment aims to record 50 ab^{-1}−1 of data. Belle II has a broad program of \tauτ physics, in particular, precision measurements of Standard Model parameters and searches of lepton flavor and lepton number violations, benefiting from the large cross-section of the pairwise \tauτ lepton production in e^+e^-e+e− collisions. In this talk, we will review the \tauτ lepton physics program of Belle II.

In spring 2018 the SuperKEKB electron-positron collider at High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK, Tsukuba, Japan) will deliver its first collisions to the Belle II experiment. The aim of Belle II is to collect a data sample 50 times larger than the previous generation of BFactories taking advantage of the unprecedented SuperKEKB design luminosity of 8×1035cm-2s-1. The Belle II detector will allow to conduct precise measurements in the harsh collider environment, probing for signs of physics beyond the standard model at the precision frontier. In order to deliver data suitable for physics analysis, the detector has to be properly calibrated on a regular basis. Among other calibrations the detector alignment plays a key role. For example, precise measurements of time dependent CP-violation rely on the accurate alignment of the new vertex detector, as well as on the determination of the beamspot position and size. To automate the calibration procedures and manage the large amount of data and processing power needed for detector calibration, a software framework has been developed which allows to define the complete workflow and to execute it on a computing cluster. The framework integrates the Millepede II algorithm to solve the large minimization problem emerging in the track-based alignment and calibration of the pixel and strip detector, the central drift chamber, and the muon system. The first collision data will allow to test and to further improve and tune the alignment and calibration procedures. Although the vertexing capabilities will be limited due to the installation of only a small slice of the full vertex detector, the commissioning phase will allow to test most of the alignment procedure features and to prepare for the full operation. We will present the results achieved during the first data taking, the experience gained and the plans for the first physics run with the full detector.

The Belle II experiment is a substantial upgrade of the Belle detector and will operate at the SuperKEKBenergy-asymmetric e + e − collider. The accelerator has already successfully completed the first phase of commissioning in 2016. The first electron versus positron collisions in Belle II were delivered in April 2018. The design luminosity of SuperKEKB is 8 × 10 35 cm−2s−1, and the Belle II experiment aims to record 50 ab−1 of data, a factor of 50 more than the Belle experiment. This large dataset will be accumulated with low backgrounds and high trigger efficiencies in a clean e + e − environment. This contribution will review the detector upgrade, the achieved detector performance and the plans for the commissioning of Belle II.

On March 25th 2019, the Belle II detector recorded the first collisions delivered by the SuperKEKB accelerator. This marked the beginning of the physics run with vertex detector. The vertex detector was aligned initially with cosmic ray tracks without magnetic field simultaneously with the drift chamber. The alignment method is based on Millepede II and the General Broken Lines track model and includes also the muon system or primary vertex position alignment. To control weak modes, we employ sensitive validation tools and various track samples can be used as alignment input, from straight cosmic tracks to mass-constrained decays. With increasing luminosity and experience, the alignment is approaching the target performance, crucial for the first physics analyses in the era of Super-BFactories. We will present the software framework for the detector calibration and alignment, the results from the first physics run and the prospects in view of the experience with the first data.
