The Belle II Experiment is an international collaboration of about 1000 physicists and engineers from 26 countries. Together we explore the fundamental secrets of the Universe with the SuperKEKB cutting-edge electron-positron collider and the new Belle II particle detector. I am greatly honored to be elected Spokesperson of this wonderful international team. Our experiment has just begun, and much remains to \u00a0be done. We are all working hard on optimizing the detector performance and are getting ready to use it for unique and exciting studies of new physics.\u3000—– Toru Iijima<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

KMI’s Associate Professor Alessandro Gaz was also chosen as the P<\/span>hysics Coordinator.<\/span><\/p>\n

We started taking data with the full detector just a few months ago and we are delighted to see many familiar particles emerge from our first data. It is a great privilege to have been chosen as Physics Coordinator at this time of the experiment, when we get ready to present exciting results at the Summer Conferences and start writing our first Physics Papers. I hope that the quality of our results will encourage more researchers to join our team!—–Alessandro Gaz<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
