Overview

The "Belle II-Theory Interface Platform" is a joint theory-experiment effort to study the potential impacts of the Belle II program.

We plan to organise meetings twice a year gathering theory experts and Belle II members, starting from June 2014 until the end of 2016.

One of the expected outcomes of the project is a "KEK Green Report", summarising all the important observables which will be measured at Belle II, their experimentally achievable precision and their impact on our understanding of the theory (Standard Model and New Physics). This report should also include a "milestones table" clarifying the targets for the first 5 to 10 ab-1 of data as well as for the final goal at 50 ab-1.

This project is an official activity of Belle II, approved by the executive board of the Belle II Collaboration in February 2014.

Workshop Dates

The 2014 meetings will be held at KEK in June and November, as a satellite meeting of the Belle and Belle II General meetings. There is a possibility of holding one workshop in 2015 at an external location. Individual working groups may choose to hold additional meetings. Please register for the meetings on the linked indico pages.
