KEKB B-Factory, ˜) The Luminosity Frontier

The experiment at the KEKB B-Factory [ KEKB B-Factory Design Report, National Laboratory for High Energy Physics, KEK Report 95–7 (1995)], as well as PEP-II, brought the final blow on the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics for the Kobayashi-Maskawa theory. A few key issues will be described on the design and performance of KEKB to make the world’s highest luminosity possible.
