Our principal physics goal is to test the KM picture of CP violation by measuring the angle (aka ) of the unitarity triangle.
In phase II, we will seek to measure and ( ).

The Measurement
The time-dependent asymmetry appears mainly as a mean shift in the distribution between events tagged
as decays and
events tagged as
decays.

The KEK-B Asymmetric Collider
KEK-B is similar to PEP-II in many ways, although there is a (potentially) important difference in the way in which the beams are brought into collision.

Summary and Conclusions
• BELLE has accumulated 4.5 fb-1of luminosity in its first ~year of operation.
• The detector is working well and the analysis machinery is beginning to produce results that are competitive with previous measurements.
• One can hope for further increases in luminosity in the months to come.
