  It was about quarter past seven on the evening of October 7, 2008, when the winners of the Nobel Prize for Physics were announced by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Researchers and engineers at Japan’s High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK), a vast research facility 60 km northeast of Tokyo, celebrated the news, which included an award to one of their own. Makoto Kobayashiwww.cechina.cn, professor emeritus of KEK and an associate of the facility for three decades, and Toshihide Maskawa控制工程网版权所有,

professor emeritus of Kyoto University won Nobel Prizes in physics for their discovery of the origin of broken symmetry, known as CP violation, which predicts the existence of at least three families of quarks in nature. KEK has played a pivotal role in verifying the matter-antimatter asymmetry, successfully predicted by the Kobayashi-Maskawa theory almost 30 years after it was originally published in 1973.
  The KEKB-factory is a charged particle accelerator and storage ring system for experimental validation of the CP violation model. It consists of an electron/positron injector (linear accelerator, or Linac), a dual-ring accelerator, and a Belle detector. The accelerator is an asymmetric double-ring collider, with rings storing an 8-GeV electron beam and a 3.5-GeV positron beam. Beams run at nearly the speed of light in opposite directions through 3 km tunnels buried 11 m beneath the groundwww.cechina.cn, and collide in the center of the Belle detector. The Belle detector record the process of B-meson decay. It was the Belle experiment that firmly established the validity of the Kobayashi-Maskawa theory of CP violation in 2002 and led to Kobayasi’s Nobel prize.
