We are pleased to announce the 6th KEK Flavor Factory Workshop (KEK-FF 2019) to be held on February 14-16, 2019 at KEK in Tsukuba, Japan.
The KEK-FF is a series of workshops for discussions between experimentalists and theorists who are interested in flavor physics. In this sixth edition, we plan to focus on the physics at Belle II, which recently observed the first collision of electron and positron generated by the SuperKEKB accelerator. We anticipate rich physics outputs from SuperKEKB/Belle II starting in 2019, and the KEK-FF workshop provides an opportunity to discuss on them at the location where the experiment is on-going. We welcome everybody who is interested in participating in the lively discussions.
