Slide17

Our technical interests are TOP readout, KLM readout, background commissioning and neutron detection. Readout includes ASICs, firmware and systems. Browder, Varner, Vahsen

do Belle II management.Our physics interests are inclusive rare decays (bs l+

l-), exclusive BD τυ, searches for dark sector particles and tests of quantum mechanics.

We plan to have

5 students doing Belle II theses (as requirements for firmware engineering ramp down and Browder is freed up from Belle II administrative duties). Our programmatically funded postdocs and graduate students are based at Hawaii but make frequent long trips to KEK. US Belle II operations postdocs are usually based at KEK. Postdocs will begin to transfer to calibration, software and physics as readout is stabilized.

Nishimura who has led the US Belle II firmware effort and brought TOP into operation will apply as a co-PI in the 4-year renewal proposal.

In 2017-2018 we achieved stable readout of the TOP, made major contributions to the KLM, and led the BEAST effort with first collisions.
