Status of the Super B project

An international collaboration has been settled to study a high-luminosity e+e- collider operating at the Υ (4 S) that would deliver a luminosity of the order of 1036 cm-2s-1. This collider, called Super B Factory, would use a combination of linear and storage ring techniques. Such a collider would produce an integrated luminosity of about 10ab-1 in a running year at the Υ (4 S) resonance. Further possibilities include having longitudinally polarized electrons at the interaction point and operating at the J/ψ beam energy.
