SuperB

The project suggested to cut cost by reusing hardware from the PEP-II accelerator, which was decommissioned before the proposed start of building of SuperB.

At the back cover of CDR the intended location was shown to be the campus of University of Rome Tor Vergata.

Physicists believe that CP violation may account for the discrepancy, and the designers hoped that SuperB may be able to throw light on the question.

[8] SuperB should have made it possible to observe matter and antimatter coexisting much as they did in the first moments of the universe, by means of the uncertainty principle.

This situation is very unstable, and lasts for only a very brief time, but it was hoped to be able to take billions of quick glimpses, and thus build up a picture of what is happening.
