We present the physics program of the Belle II experiment, located on the<br />
intensity frontier SuperKEKB $e^+e^-$ collider. Belle II collected its first<br />
collisions in 2018, and is expected to operate for the next decade. It is<br />
anticipated to collect 50/ab of collision data over its lifetime. This book is<br />
the outcome of a joint effort of Belle II collaborators and theorists through<br />
the Belle II theory interface platform (B2TiP), an effort that commenced in<br />
2014. The aim of B2TiP was to elucidate the potential impacts of the Belle II<br />
program, which includes a wide scope of physics topics: B physics, charm, tau,<br />
quarkonium, electroweak precision measurements and dark sector searches. It is<br />
composed of nine working groups (WGs), which are coordinated by teams of<br />
theorist and experimentalists conveners: Semileptonic and leptonic B decays,<br />
Radiative and Electroweak penguins, phi_1 and phi_2 (time-dependent CP<br />
violation) measurements, phi_3 measurements, Charmless hadronic B decay, Charm,<br />
Quarkonium(like), tau and low-multiplicity processes, new physics and global<br />
fit analyses. This book highlights "golden- and silver-channels", i.e. those<br />
that would have the highest potential impact in the field. Theorists<br />
scrutinised the role of those measurements and estimated the respective<br />
theoretical uncertainties, achievable now as well as prospects for the future.<br />
Experimentalists investigated the expected improvements with the large dataset<br />
expected from Belle II, taking into account improved performance from the<br />
upgraded detector.
