{"product_id":"9783662525920","title":"Physics of the B Factories","description":"This comprehensive work thoroughly introduces and reviews the set of results from Belle and BaBar - after more than two decades of independent and complementary work - all the way from the detectors and the analysis tools used, up to the physics results, and the interpretation of these results.The world’s two giant B Factory collaborations, Belle at KEK and BaBar at SLAC, have successfully completed their main mission to discover and quantify CP violation in the decays of B mesons. CP violation is a necessary requirement to distinguish unambiguously between matter and antimatter. The shared primary objective of the two B Factory experiments was to determine the shape of the so-called unitarity triangle, an abstract triangle representing interactions of quarks, the elementary constituents of matter. The area of the triangle is a measure of the amount of CP violation associated with the weak force.Many other measurements have been performed by the B Factories and are also discussed in this work.","brand":"Adrian Bevan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45704971026750,"sku":"9783662525920","price":2165.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9783662525920.jpg?v=1707735286","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9783662525920","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
