B Factories are particle colliders at which specific subatomic particles--B mesons--are produced abundantly. The purpose is to study the properties of their decays in great detail in order to shed light on a mystery of eminently larger scale: why do we live in a universe composed of matter and no anti-matter? This book introduces readers to the physics laws of the CP asymmetry, touching on experimental requirements needed to perform such measurements at the subatomic level, and illustrating the main findings of the contemporary B Factories.

CP violation was first observed in 1964, but only in 1999 did we gain much greater experimental insight. Direct CP violation finally appeared in the form of e'/e in the K system. Indirect CP violation in B ? J/ ? K s decay, the raison d'être for construction of e + e - B factories, was first sniffed out at the proton-antiproton collider. The asymmetric B factories - BABAR at SLAC and BELLE at KEK - were completed, while the symmetric B factory at Cornell was upgraded to CLEO-III. It seems that everyone is positioning himself for the great competition on "B Physics and CP Violation", racing to

Stanford University hosted the XIX International Symposium on Lepton and Photon Interactions at High Energies on August 9 – 14, 1999, at the Law School on the Stanford University Campus, the site of the previous Symposia. This volume constitutes the proceedings of the Symposium.
