The Belle Experiment

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Time-Dependent CP Violation Measurements

Part of the book series: Springer Theses ((Springer Theses))

Abstract

To carry out time-dependent CP violation measurements a complex experimental setup is needed. In this chapter the production of B mesons by the KEKB accelerator and the detection of particle reactions by the Belle experiment are described.
