The Super Belle detector

is a general purpose spectrometer consisting of a vertex detector that measures the decay-vertex positions of long-lived beauty, charmed and strange hadrons and τ leptons, a central tracker that measures the momentum and dE/dx of charged tracks, a super conducting solenoid that provides a strong and uniform magnetic field, barrel and endcap calorimeters that measure the energy and direction of photons, electrons and neutral pions, barrel and endcap PID devices that distinguish Kaons from pions and muons, and, a K_L/muon detector that is instrumented in the flux return yoke. A fast and reliable trigger and data acquisition system records the signal from detectors. A globally-distributed computing and data-strage system is also an indispensable component.
