Idea

joint / project

initiated in March 2009

• ~700 papers in scientific journal over the last decade

• no review by either coll. in certain area of physics

• huge amount of expertise, developed exp. methods, results and conclusions dispersed in (short) papers

Idea

Idea of the book:Idea of the book:

• full reviews on all of the major physics areas that the B-factories have studied over the last decade;

• including motivation, exp.methods, results, conclusions

• immediate value for people who will work on Super-B factory and for all high energy physicists wanting to learn about studies at B factories;

• reference text on heavy flavour phys. studied at Belle and BaBar


Status

Preservation:Preservation:

• not really data itself, rather preservation of knowledge;

• motivation for (really) intense analysis of full Belle data set → keeping Belle data alive for a while;

• SuperKEKB/Belle II oficially funded → Belle data in use at least by the time BelleIILdt BelleLdt;

• collection and update of written and graphics material;


Organization

• define two sets of notations: a) (1,2,3 | C, mES, ...) b) (,, | A,Mbc, ...) [“...” = any further stubborn differences]

•Belle/BaBar notation for (angles | ....) will be partially balanced by using BaBar/Belle notation for (.... | others).

Time schedule: Time schedule:

• start before end 2009; • writing until end 2011; • public. in mid 2012;

• enough time for further (Belle) results;

• available before start of SuperKEKB;
