  9. 1 Introduction • Belle and Logo Asymmetric e+e- collider producing B

  10. 1 Introduction (6) • Interest in B decays to charmonium 1) Golden channels for CP Measurements: 2) Best place to look for missing charmonium states such as ηC(2S) 3) Clean testing ground of Theoretical Ideas (QCD, NRQCD, HQET) charmonium states = singlet in color, isospin and SU(3) quantities 4) Fundamental Quantities Branching fractions, etc.

  11. 1 Introduction (7) • Fundamentals of Analyses 1) Most of analyses are based on data of(1/3 of data taken) 2) Number of events Reconstructable Final state 3) Signals: look for peaks in:
