Abstract

Status of the KEKB accelerator and the detector, BELLE, is reported. The construction of the 3.5 Gev x 8 GeV electron-positron collider, and the solenoid detector, BELLE, was completed in December, 1998. The commissioning of them has been made since then. The BELLE detector has observed the first hadronic event from the beam collision on Jun 1, 1999. The achieved maximum luminosity by August 4th, 1999, was 3 x 10^32 cm^-2 sec^-1. The KEKB operation will be continued after two months of summer break.
