The BaBar detector was built at SLAC to study the millions of B mesons produced by the PEP-II storage ring. The BaBar Collaboration consists of approximately 600 physicists and engineers from 75 institutions in 10 countries. |
The Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology: Our Mission is to bridge theoretical and experimental physics communities, and bring their combined strengths to bear on some of the most challenging and fascinating problems in particle astrophysics and cosmology. |

Searching
for answers to fundamental questions about the ultimate structure of matter
and the forces between these fundamental particles, scientists use accelerators
which speed electrons and anti-electrons to nearly the speed of light, and
study their collisions and collisions from fixed target experiments. Using
similar technology in astrophysics, space-based detectors will help us understand
the birth and evolution of the universe.
