Abstract

This chapter is going to describe the technical setup without which this thesis would not have been possible. The KEKB accelerator and the Belle detector at the Japanese High Energy Accelerator Research Organisation (KEK) in Tsukuba, Japan, provide an excellent environment to study flavor physics and are both briefly described below.
