The Belle Silicon Vertex Detector (SVD) was designed to measure B meson decay positions precisely for studies of time-dependent CP violation. Although the first version of SVD (SVD1) worked for 4 years from 1999 with excellent performance, its insufficient radiation hardness drove us to build a seco

โฆ Synopsis
The BELLE detector is being constructed to observe and measure CP violations in B decays. Design of each subdetector is described. Expected performance of each subdetector is also discussed.

We present the status of the second version of the Silicon Vertex Detector (SVD2) at Belle. SVD2 has been in operation since October 2003, and its innermost layer has accumulated 2.4 kGy of radiation dose. The noise in the inner layers increased by about 20%, while the gain of the readout chips kept
The Belle experiment at KEK (Tsukuba, Japan) was inaugurated in 1999 and has delivered excellent physics results since then, which were, for example, recognized in the Nobel Prize award 2008 to Kobayashi and Masukawa. An overall luminosity of 895 fb ร 1 has been recorded as of December 2008, and the
