KEKB is an asymmetric energy B factory with the highest >> luminosity in the world. The Belle group at KEKB has played >> an important role in establishing the Standard Model by >> precise test of Kobayashi-Maskawa model of quark mixing >> and CP violation in the various aspects together with BaBar. >> If new physics exists at the TeV energy scale, it is quite >> conceivable that deviations from the predictions of the >> Standard Model will be observed in the decays of heavy >> flavors such as B, D and tau. By increasing the luminosity >> of KEKB by a factor of ~50, the flavor physics will enter a >> new era of precision measurements in which the possibility >> of detecting new physics effects will be greatly improved. >> Therefore, detailed measurements at the upgraded KEKB >> facility can provide an excellent opportunity to examine the >> fundamental properties of CP violation and flavor mixing >> in new physics. In this talk, physics program and design of >> the machine and the detector will be reviewed. Especially, >> our strategy to reach the luminosity close to 10³⁶ will be >> presented in detail.
