Shibata#, KEK, Tsukuba, Japan Abstract size in the horizontal and vertical directions at the IP, I is SuperKEKB, which is an upgrade of the KEKB B- the beam current, y is the vertical beam-beam * factory (KEKB), is a next-generation high-luminosity parameter, y is the vertical beta function at the IP, RL electron-positron collider. Its design luminosity is 8.0× and Ry are the reduction factors for the luminosity and 1035 cm-2s-1, which is about 40 times than the KEKB’s vertical beam-beam tune-shift parameter, respectively, record. To achieve this challenging goal, bunches of both owing to the crossing angle and the hourglass effect. The beams are squeezed extremely to the nanometer scale and subscripts + and – indicate a positron or electron, the beam currents are doubled. To realize this, many respectively. At the SuperKEKB, crossing the beams by upgrades must be performed including the replacement of using the “nanobeam scheme” [3] makes it possible to * th beam pipes mainly in the positron ring (LER). The beam squeeze y to about 1/20 of KEKB’s size. In the pipes in the LER arc section are being replaced with new nanobeam scheme, bunches of both beams are squeezed aluminium-alloy pipes with antechambers to cope with extremely to the nanometer scale (0.3 mm across and 100 the electron cloud issue and heating problem. nm high) and intersect only in the highly focused region Additionally, several types of countermeasures will be of each bunch at a large crossing angle (4.8 degrees). -
First New Particle-‐Smasher Since the LHC Comes
www.coepp.org.au Media release for immediate release Thursday 3 March 2016 First new particle-smasher since the LHC comes online A new particle collider, SuperKEKB, located at the KEK laboratory in Tsukuba, Japan has achieved “First Turns” and is now in the test operation stage. This is the newest “particle-smasher” to go online since the LHC at CERN in Geneva. SuperKEKB will be the world’s highest-luminosity collider and, in association with the Belle II experiment, it will collide electrons with their antiparticles – positrons – in the search for new physics. Designed and built at KEK by a team of Japanese accelerator physicists, SuperKEKB, along with the Belle II detector at the interaction point, will search for new physics beyond the Standard Model by measuring rare decays of elementary particles such as beauty quarks, charm quarks and tau leptons. In contrast to the LHC, which is the world's highest energy machine, SuperKEKB/Belle II is designed to have the world’s highest luminosity or rate of collisions (40 times higher than its predecessor KEKB). This will make SuperKEKB the world’s “highest luminosity” machine and the leading accelerator on the “luminosity frontier”. Key milestones: • 10 February, 2016: SuperKEKB succeeded in circulating and storing a positron beam moving close to the speed of light around the 3.0 kilometre circumference of its main ring. • 26 February, 2016: SuperKEKB electron-positron collider succeeded in circulating and storing a seven billion electron-volt energy (7 GeV) electron beam around its ring of magnets in the opposite direction. The achievement of these “first turns” – i.e. -

B. How did your interest in physics arise? You enrolled in the late 1950s, when the period of post-war reconstruction of physics in Europe was coming to an end, and Italy was entering into a phase of great expansion. Those were very exciting years. It was the beginning of the space era. L. M. The beginning of the space era certainly had a strong influence on many people, absolutely. The landing on the moon in 1969 was for sure unforgettable, but at that time I was already working in Physics and about to get married. My interest in physics started well before. The real beginning was around 1955. Most important for me was astronomy. It is not surprising that astronomy marked for many people the beginning of their interest in science. -

The Belle II Experiment: Status and Prospects
universe Article The Belle II Experiment: Status and Prospects Paolo Branchini † INFN Sezione di RomaTre Via Della Vasca Navale, 84, 00146 Roma, Italy; [email protected] † On behalf of the Belle II Collaboration. Received: 16 September 2018; Accepted: 29 September 2018; Published: 1 October2018 Abstract: 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 × 1035 cm−2 s−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. Keywords: flavor; dark matter 1. Introduction Even though the Standard Model (SM) is currently the best description of the subatomic world, it does not explain the complete picture. The theory incorporates only three out of the four fundamental forces, omitting gravity. Moreover, there are also important questions that it does not answer, such as the matter versus antimatter asymmetry in the number of quark and lepton generations. Many New Physics (NP) scenarios have been proposed. Experiments in high-energy physics search for NP using two complementary approaches. The first, at the energy frontier, is able to discover new particles directly produced in pp collisions (ATLAS, CMS). -
Movable Collimator System for Superkekb
PHYSICAL REVIEW ACCELERATORS AND BEAMS 23, 053501 (2020) Movable collimator system for SuperKEKB T. Ishibashi , S. Terui, Y. Suetsugu, K. Watanabe, and M. Shirai High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK), 305-0801, Tsukuba, Japan (Received 3 March 2020; accepted 6 May 2020; published 13 May 2020) Movable collimators for the SuperKEKB main ring, which is a two-ring collider consisting of a 4 GeV positron and 7 GeVelectron storage ring, were designed to fit an antechamber scheme in the beam pipes, to suppress background noise in a particle detector complex named Belle II, and to avoid quenches, derived from stray particles, in the superconducting final focusing magnets. We developed horizontal and vertical collimators having a pair of horizontally or vertically opposed movable jaws with radiofrequency shields. The collimators have a large structure that protrudes into the circulating beam and a large impedance. Therefore, we estimated the impedance using an electromagnetic field simulator, and the impedance of the newly developed collimators is lower compared with that of our conventional ones because a part of each movable jaw is placed inside the antechamber structure. Ten horizontal collimators and three vertical collimators were installed in total, and we installed them in the rings taking the phase advance to the final focusing magnets into consideration. The system generally functioned, as expected, at a stored beam current of up to approximately 1 A. In high-current operations at 500 mA or above, the jaws were occasionally damaged by hitting abnormal beams, and we estimated the temperature rise for the collimator’s materials using a Monte Carlo simulation code. -

The Belle II Experiment at the Superkekb

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. 1 Introduction The two B factories, Belle at the KEKB collider at KEK [1] and BaBar at the PEP II collider at SLAC [2], have been operating very successfully for more than ten years [3]. Altogether, about 1.5 ab−1 data in the vicinity of the Υ(4S ) resonance were accumulated, and these data were used in extensive studies of the B-physics, charm physics, tau physics, as well as hadron spectroscopy and various searches for possible hints of new physics, such as lepton number violation, low mass Higgs-like states, and dark matters. While most results from B factories are in good consistency with the expectations from the Stan- dard Model (SM), there are a few measurements that show discrepancies at around three standard deviation level from the SM predictions. One of the interesting examples is the possible observation of the violation of the lepton universality in semileptonic B decays, if confirmed, very probably, there is contribution from non-SM physics [4]. -

Box 13, I-00044 Frascati, Italy Abstract Bruno Touschek was an Austrian born theoretical physicist, who proposed and built the first electron-positron collider in 1960 in the Frascati National Laboratories in Italy. In this note we reconstruct a crucial period of Bruno Touschek’s life so far scarcely explored, which runs from Summer 1945 to the end of 1946. We shall describe his university studies in Gottingen,¨ placing them in the context of the reconstruction of German science after 1945. The influence of Werner Heisenberg and other prominent German physicists will be highlighted. In parallel, we shall show how the decisions of the Allied powers, towards restructuring science and technology in the UK after the war effort, determined Touschek’s move to the University of Glasgow in 1947.

Bruno Touschek, from Betatrons to Electron-Positron Colliders
Preprint of an invited article submitted for publication in Reviews of Accelerator Science and Technology, Vol. 8. http://www.worldscientific.com/worldscinet/rast c 2015 by World Scientific Publishing Company Bruno Touschek, from Betatrons to Electron-positron Colliders Carlo Bernardini∗ Physics Department, University of Rome Sapienza Rome, 00185, Italy Giulia Pancheriy INFN Frascati National Laboratory, Via E. Fermi 40 Frascati, I00044, Italy Claudio Pellegriniz Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of California at Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California 90095 SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Menlo Park, California, 94025 Bruno Touschek's life as a physicist spanned the period from World War II to the 1970s. He was a key figure in the developments of electron-positron colliders, storage rings, and gave important contributions to theoretical high energy physics. Storage rings, initially developed for high energy physics, are being widely used in many countries as synchrotron radiation sources and are a tool for research in physics, chemistry, biology environmental sciences and cultural heritage studies. We describe Touschek's life in Austria, where he was born, Germany, where he participated to the construction of a betatron during WWII, and Italy, where he proposed and led to completion the first electron-positron storage ring in 1960, in Frascati. We highlight how his central European culture influenced his life style and work, and his main contributions to physics, such as the discovery of the Touschek effect and beam instabilities in the larger storage ring ADONE.
