Abstract

The SuperB project is an international enterprise aiming at the construc- tion of the high-luminosity asymmetric beam energy electron-positron accelerator, which would be located in the area of Rome. It would exploit several novel features allowing to achieve an unprecedented luminosities and to collect almost a hundred times more data than the current generation of B factories. As for the leptonic colliders, it will maintain a clean, low-background experimental environment that is crucial for numerous measure- ments on the field of high energy physics.

Summary

Introduction

The Standard Model (SM) is a current theory of fundamental particles and their interaction, it cannot be considered as an ultimate theory. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is one of the fully operational experiment dedicated for the searches of the New Physics (NP) at high energies via hadron-hadron collisions. SuperB is a high luminosity flavour physics experiment that will perform detailed studies mainly of the B mesons decays and its major mission is to reveal the mystery of the matter-antimatter asymmetry observed in the Universe, which cannot be fully explained by the SM. The machine consists of the high-luminosity asymmetric beam energy electron-positron accelerator along with the respective system of detectors. The motivation of the project will be given along with detailed description of the main physical goals. The accelerator and the detector of the SuperB experiment will be briefly presented followed by the information on the status of the project
