Science : A planned €500 million particle collider to be built outside Rome is moving forward as Italy increases its investment and other groups jump on board. The SuperB project, which will be built from parts of a decommissioned US accelerator, would generate large quantities of B mesons to study charge conjugationparity ( CP) violationthe asymmetry between matter and antimatter. The project faces competition from the Japanese, however, who are working to build the Super KEKB, which would pursue much the same research.
