Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

The Belle II experiment, located at SuperKEKB in Tsukuba Japan, collected around 500 pb-1 during its commissioning run in 2018. After the integration of its vertex detector, the experiment has recently started its first full run in March 2019. The goal of Belle II is to to collect data with a target integrated luminosity of the experiment is 50 ab-1. The large dataset has a unique capability...

The Belle II detector is a significant upgrade of the Belle detector and will be a competitive, perhaps unique, environment in which to study rare B decays with missing energy to a sensitivity that would exhibit indirect New Physics effects. From a $B$-$\bar{B}$ meson pair that has been produced in the SuperKEKB energy-asysmmetric $e^+e^-$ collider and $B$-factory, one $B$ meson can be fully...

The Belle II experiment represents an exciting opportunity to study the properties of B meson decays and to explore the nature of CP-violation and rare decays through electron-positron collisions. Belle II is designed to operate at an instantaneous luminosity of 8x10³⁵ cm^-2s^-1, 40 times that of previous B factory experiments. Following a successful...

Oral Competition (Graduate Student) / Compétition orale (Étudiant(e) du 2e ou 3e cycle)

Belle II is a next-generation $B$-factory experiment located at the SuperKEKB $e^-e^+$ collider, with the focus on examining the decays of $B\bar{B}$ meson pairs. The collider is energy-asymmetric, with a planned record-breaking instantaneous luminosity of $8\times10^{35}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$, 50 times that of its predecessor, KEKB. This will enable Belle II to gather 30 times more data than...

2486. Measuring the anti-muon-neutrino induced charged-current coherent pion production using the T2K near detector

A neutrino(anti-neutrino) can interact with the target nucleus as a whole (coherent scattering, COH) and produce a pion in the final state. This process can be mediated by either a Z (neutral-current, NC) or a W boson (charged-current, CC). In both cases, produce a pion, and the target nucleus recoils intact and is generally unobservable in neutrino detectors. Thus, NC-COH is one of the...
