The Next Generation B-Factory Experiment Belle II
Dr. Thomas Kuhr (Karlsruhe (KIT))

To extend our knowledge about nature it is essential to complement the direct searches for new physics at the LHC by high precision flavor physics measurements. The next-generation B factory experiment Belle II at the upgraded KEKB accelerator, SuperKEKB, is designed to perform such measurements. Because of the well constrained conditions of the "e+e- -> Y(4S) -> BBbar" reactions several measurements, that are not possible at hadron colliders, can be carried out. The physics case of the Belle II experiment and the status of the accelerator and detector construction are presented.
