Showing off an acceleration section of PEP‐II, the brand new “asymmetic B factory” at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), are Jonathan Dorfan (rear), the project’s director, and Pier Oddone (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory), who first suggested ten years ago that panicle physicists seeking to find and study CP symmetry violation in B meson systems ought to build such asymmetric electron‐positron colliders. B mesons, first observed in the early 1980s, carry the heavy b (bottom) quark.
