A Belle II Custom Photomultiplier Tube

ORAL

Abstract

Belle II is a next generation particle detector with the aim to probe for new physics via precision measurements and rare decays. As the yet in-progress upgrade to the Belle experiment, Belle II hopes to start physics measurements on the SuperKEKB $e^+$$e^-$ accelerator in Tsukuba, Japan, by late 2018. In this presentation, a brief overview of the detector will be presented, along with some of the contributing work done at TRUIMF on a custom photomultiplier tube developed by Hamamatsu, within the context of the Canadian contribution to this upgrade.
