    Current status of charm mixing search, lifetime difference measurement and rare decay search are reported. The best upper limit at 95% CL for mixing is reported from the CLEO collaboration. E791 has reported lifetime difference measurement and results of rare decay searches. Rare decay searches of the FOCUS collaboration are in progress and their sensitivities to branching ratios are at the level of a few x 10^{-6}.Comment: Presented at the 3rd International Conference on B Physics and CP Violation, Taipei, December 3-7, 1999 9pages, 5 figure

    Performance of the Belle II Silicon Vertex Detector

    No full text
    The Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB collider of KEK (Japan) will accumulate 50 ab−1 of e+e− collision data at an unprecedented instantaneous luminosity of 8 ×1035 cm−2s−1, about 40 times larger than its predecessor. The Belle II vertex detector plays a crucial role in the rich Belle II physics program, especially for time-dependent measurements. It consists of two layers of DEPFET-based pixels and four layers of double sided silicon strips detectors(SVD). The vertex detector has been recently completed and installed in Belle II for the physics run started in spring 2019. We report here results on the commissioning of the SVD and its performance measured with the first collision data set

    The Belle II experiment features a substantial upgrade of the Belle detector and will operate at the SuperKEKB energy-asymmetric e+e− collider at KEK in Tsukuba, Japan. The accelerator completed its first phase of commissioning in 2016, and the Belle II detector saw its first electron-positron collisions in April 2018. Belle II features a newly designed silicon vertex detector based on double-sided strip layers and DEPFET pixel layers. A subset of the vertex detector was operated in 2018 to determine background conditions (Phase 2 operation). The collaboration completed full detector installation in January 2019, and the experiment started full data taking. This paper will report on the final arrangement of the silicon vertex detector part of Belle II with a focus on online monitoring of detector conditions and data quality, on the design and use of diagnostic and reference plots, and on integration with the software framework of Belle II. Data quality monitoring plots will be discussed with a focus on simulation and acquired cosmic and collision data
