The Standard Model predicts interference effects between [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] boson exchange in fermion pair production which cause a forward–backward asymmetry [Formula: see text] even for energies well below the [Formula: see text]–pole. This energy–dependent asymmetry ([Formula: see text] at 10.58[Formula: see text]GeV) is proportional to the SM [Formula: see text] parameter and can be measured at the Belle and Belle[Formula: see text]II experiments. The sensitivity to New Physics as well as theoretical and experimental challenges are described.

Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB collider is a major upgrade of the Belle experiment at the KEKB asymmetric e+e− collider at the KEK. The experiment will focus on the search for new physics beyond the standard model via high precision measurement of heavy flavor decays and search for rare signals. In this talk, we present the status of the SuperKEKB collider and the Belle II detector.

In experiments at the luminosity frontier, New Physics is being searched for in precision studies of rare processes. The most important example of such an effort is experiments at B factories and super B factories. While B factories have fully established the CKM quark transition matrix as the only source of CP violation in the Standard Model, the next generation of B factories, the so-called super B factories, will look for departures from the Standard Model. To collect a 50 times larger data sample, needed to reach the required sensitivity, a substantial B factory upgrade is being carried out. The SuperKEKB accelerator complex is designed for an increase in luminosity by a factor of 40. The upgraded Belle II spectrometer is being constructed to operate at considerably higher event rates, as well as higher backgrounds, accompanied by an increase in occupancy and radiation damage. Higher event rates also require substantial modifications in the trigger scheme, data acquisition system and computing. The paper discusses the detectors at B factories, the motivation for SuperKEKB/Belle II, the super B factory at KEK, as well as the requirements for the new accelerator and for the new detector. The present status of the project will be presented together with plans for the future. We will also discuss its competition, the LHCb experiment at the LHC.

The Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider in Japan aims to search for new physics in the flavour transitions in the quark and lepton sectors. The SuperKEKB accelerator will operate at the target instantaneous luminosity of 8 × 1035 s-1cm2. It requires a substantial upgrade of the detector subsystems which are expected to record 50 ab-1 of data. Such a huge data sample in clean background environment allows for probing signatures of new physics through suppressed flavour physics reactions and cross checks for deviations from the Standard Model measured at the LHCb experiment. Physics data taking at the Belle II experiment successfully started in April 2018.
