Building in Hongkong. Field Excursion of the Department of Civil Engineering of the HTWG Konstanz 2012
Hongkong steht als Welthandelsmetropole auch für Superlative des Bauens. Dies gilt für die in britischer Zeit errichteten Bauten, aber auch für die nach der Übergabe an China entstandenen Hochhäuser und Brückenbauwerke. Der Exkursionsbericht der Fakultät Bauingenieurwesen der HTWG Konstanz gibt einen Eindruck von diesen Aktivitäten. Er schildert Brücken- und Hochhausbauten, Tunnelbaustellen und die Baustelle eines Klärschlammverbrennungswerks, die während einer Exkursionswoche im September 2012 besichtigt wurden. Darüber hinaus gibt er einen Einblick in die wirtschaftliche Dynamik der Stadt.As a global metropolis Hongkong also stands for outstanding building activities. The report depicts the impressions during a student field excursion of the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the University of Applied Sciences Konstanz, Germany, to construction sites in Hongkong in September 2012
The Belle II Physics Book
We present the physics program of the Belle II experiment, located on the
intensity frontier SuperKEKB collider. Belle II collected its first
collisions in 2018, and is expected to operate for the next decade. It is
anticipated to collect 50/ab of collision data over its lifetime. This book is
the outcome of a joint effort of Belle II collaborators and theorists through
the Belle II theory interface platform (B2TiP), an effort that commenced in
2014. The aim of B2TiP was to elucidate the potential impacts of the Belle II
program, which includes a wide scope of physics topics: B physics, charm, tau,
quarkonium, electroweak precision measurements and dark sector searches. It is
composed of nine working groups (WGs), which are coordinated by teams of
theorist and experimentalists conveners: Semileptonic and leptonic B decays,
Radiative and Electroweak penguins, phi_1 and phi_2 (time-dependent CP
violation) measurements, phi_3 measurements, Charmless hadronic B decay, Charm,
Quarkonium(like), tau and low-multiplicity processes, new physics and global
fit analyses. This book highlights "golden- and silver-channels", i.e. those
that would have the highest potential impact in the field. Theorists
scrutinised the role of those measurements and estimated the respective
theoretical uncertainties, achievable now as well as prospects for the future.
Experimentalists investigated the expected improvements with the large dataset
expected from Belle II, taking into account improved performance from the
upgraded detector.Comment: 689 page
Measurement of the integrated luminosity of the Phase 2 data of the Belle II experiment
From April to July 2018, a data sample at the peak energy of the γ(4S) resonance was collected with the Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB electron-positron collider. This is the first data sample of the Belle II experiment. Using Bhabha and digamma events, we measure the integrated luminosity of the data sample to be (496.3 ± 0.3 ± 3.0) pb-1, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. This work provides a basis for future luminosity measurements at Belle II
Measurements of the branching fractions for decays at Belle II
This paper reports a study of decays using
fb of data collected during 2019--2020 by the Belle II experiment at the
SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy collider, corresponding to events. We find , ,
, and signal events in the decay modes , ,
, and , respectively. The uncertainties quoted for the
signal yield are statistical only. We report the branching fractions of these
decays: where the first
uncertainty is statistical, and the second is systematic. The results are
consistent with world-average values
Angular analysis of decays reconstructed in 2019, 2020, and 2021 Belle II data
We report on a Belle II measurement of the branching fraction
(), longitudinal polarization fraction (), and CP asymmetry
() of decays. We reconstruct decays in a
sample of SuperKEKB electron-positron collisions collected by the Belle II
experiment in 2019, 2020, and 2021 at the (4S) resonance and
corresponding to 190 fb of integrated luminosity. We fit the
distributions of the difference between expected and observed candidate
energy, continuum-suppression discriminant, dipion masses, and decay angles of
the selected samples, to determine a signal yield of events. The
signal yields are corrected for efficiencies determined from simulation and
control data samples to obtain $\mathcal{B}(B^+ \to \rho^+\rho^0) = [23.2^{+\
2.2}_{-\ 2.1} (\rm stat) \pm 2.7 (\rm syst)]\times 10^{-6}f_L = 0.943 ^{+\

Measurement of the branching fractions and asymmetries of and decays in 2019-2021 Belle II data
We determine the branching fractions and asymmetries

million bottom-antibottom meson pairs corresponding to an integrated luminosity
of recorded by the Belle II detector in energy-asymmetric
electron-positron collisions at the resonance. We measure

statistical and the second are systematic. These results improve a previous
Belle II measurement and agree with the world averages
