Abstract

With the nearing completion of the first-generation experiments at asymmetric e+ee^+ e^- colliders running at the Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S) resonance ("B-Factories") a new era of high luminosity machines is at the horizon. We report here on the plans at KEK in Japan to upgrade the KEKB machine ("SuperKEKB") with the goal of achieving an instantaneous luminosity exceeding 8×10358 \times 10^{35} cm2^{-2} s1^{-1}, which is almost two orders of magnitude higher than KEKB. Together with the machine, the Belle detector will be upgraded as well ("Belle-II"), with significant improvements to increase its background tolerance as well as improving its physics performance. The new generation of experiments is scheduled to take first data in the year 2013.
