 | | BLACKSBURG, Nov. 21, 2003--Sookyung Choi of Gyeongsang University, Korea, and Stephen Olsen, professor of physics at the University of Hawaii, members of an international team of researchers at the High Energy Accelerator Organization (KEK) in Tsukuba, Japan, have announced the discovery of a new and unusual sub-atomic particle. |
 | | The new particle was found among the decay products of so-called beauty mesons that are produced in large numbers at the KEKB "B-factory," an electron-positron collider at the KEK laboratory that is specialized for producing large numbers of particles that contain a b ("beauty") quark. |
 | | There, the Belle collaboration, an international team of faculty and student researchers from universities and laboratories from 11 different countries, operate the Belle detector, which is tailored to study the particles produced by KEKB. |
