Gearing up for Belle II

The Belle experiment at the KEKB electron-positron collider, based at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Tsukuba, Japan, made significant contributions to the field of particle physics before it shut down 30 June 2010. Among them was the observation of charge-parity violation in B mesons. Today, physicists are preparing for the next step: SuperKEKB and Belle II. And part of those preparations include creating the computing infrastructure the experiment will need to handle massive amounts of data.
