The purpose of the US Belle II project is to use existing manufacturing capabilities in various U.S. locations to build detector subsystem elements for use in upgrading the Belle detector at the KEK Laboratory in Tsukuba, Japan to the improved Belle II detector. The SuperKEKB/Belle II research and development project in Japan will probe new physics through high-precision studies of heavy quark decays and charge parity (CP)-violation. The US Belle 11 project would deliver detector subsystems to the KEK Laboratory for integration with the Belle II detector and SuperKEKB accelerator.
