Abstract :
The Japanese B-Factory project at KEK (KEKB) was approved by the Japanese government in 1994 as a five-year project and the construction of accelerator and detector started in April 1994. KEKB is an 8×3.5 GeV, two-ring, electron-positron collider in the existing TRISTAN tunnel. The luminosity goal is 1034 cm-2 s -1. KEKB has one interaction point where electrons and positrons collide at a finite angle of ±11 mad. The BELLE detector will be installed around this interaction point. KEKB will be commissioned in JFY 1998
