schematic drawing of the B Factory under construction at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). At this facility, beams of electrons and positrons will collide nearly (but not quite) head-on and make B mesons. The mesons, each containing a bottom (or anti-bottom) quark will decay after a short interval, providing information about the mysterious CP-violation phenomenon.
