The proposal requests funds for the pre-research stage of a "Super B factory". This is an international particle physics facility that would provide data of a fundamental scientific nature from the annihilation of electrons and positrons (i.e. anti-electrons) at a centre-of-mass energy of 10.58GeV (an energy equivalent to the mass of approximately 10 protons). The new technologies to be developed will have these collisions occur at 100 times the rates currently available and provide for the detection and measurement of the collision events. With such a data sample, we will study b- and c-quarks and tau leptons with extremely high precision and search for evidence of new physics through studies of matter and antimatter asymmetries and decays of particles that are predicted in theories of physics beyond the Standard Model. The project is in the early planning stages and the proposal will support the planning of this cutting edge research and would enable Canada to play important roles in the project as it develops.

该提案要求为“超级B工厂”的前期研究阶段提供资金。这是一个国际粒子物理设施，它将提供在10.58GeV(相当于大约10个质子的质量)的质量能量下电子和正电子(即反电子)湮没的基本科学性质的数据。将要开发的新技术将使这些碰撞发生的速度是目前可用的100倍，并提供碰撞事件的检测和测量。有了这样的数据样本，我们将以极高的精度研究b夸克和c夸克以及tau轻子，并通过研究物质和反物质的不对称性以及粒子的衰变来寻找新物理的证据，这些都是在标准模型之外的物理理论中预测的。该项目处于早期规划阶段，该提案将支持这一前沿研究的规划，并将使加拿大在该项目的发展过程中发挥重要作用。
