Tom Browder (University of Hawaii)
My research program is the
Belle II experiment
and
Belle experiment at KEK in Tsukuba,
JAPAN.
These experiments study CP Symmetry Violation (Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry)
in the B Meson System
and search for New Physics (NP) beyond the Standard Model.
Belle provided experimental confirmation of Kobayashi and Maskawa's
explanation of CP violation in the weak interaction and was
recognized in the citation
for the
2008 Nobel prize in Physics ,
which was awarded to Kobayashi, Maskawa and Nambu.
In addition, I was Belle II spokesperson (2013-2019)
and was deeply involved in the construction and commissioning
of Belle-II,
at the
KEK Super B factory ,
with first circulating beams February-June 2016.
Belle II roll-in took place in April 2017. First
collisions and the Phase 2 run took place April 26-July 17, 2018
with the first physics run (Phase 3) in April-June of 2019.
SuperKEKB now runs continously in fall and spring.
I am also teaching undergraduate physics courses and supervising
graduate students. I am searching for new graduate students.
