This beautiful photo highlights Japan's KEK, the national high energy physics accelerator laboratory where the Belle II Collaboration operates its ongoing experiment, on which Professor Todd Pedlar and his students work.

This is the curving underground passage at the SuperKEKB particle accelerator in Tsukuba, Japan. The flagship electron-positron collider at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) achieved the world’s highest instantaneous luminosity for a colliding-beam accelerator in 2020. https://www.quantamagazine.org/global-physics-photowalk-2025-winners-revealed-20260401/

Thanks to the hard work of the and teams, we are ready to start 2026 operations! The Belle II Solenoid has been turned on and we’ll begin Main Ring operation today after the 2025-26 winter shutdown. Here’s to a 2026 with stable operation and bountiful data!

Belle IIとSuperKEKBチームのお陰で我々が２０２６年度ランを始まる！Belle IIのソレノイドはONになり、メインリングオペレーションは今日から開始する。２０２５−６年の冬シャットダウンの後、データ豊かかつ安定なランニングの２０２６年へ！
