The B factories were constructed with a very specific purpose in mind: to test the Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa description of quark mixing and CP violation in the Standard Model of particle physics. The goals of testing this part of the Standard Model were achieved, and have been surpassed beyond all expectation. As a result the B factories have revolutionised our understanding of many areas of the Standard Model of particle physics, and also provide a number of stringent limits on possible scenarios of physics beyond the Standard Model. In some cases these limits on new physics effects equal or surpass those achievable at the CERN based Large Hadron Collider.
Les usines à B ont été construites en ayant un objectif très précis : tester la description du mélange des quarks et de la violation de la symétrie CP par la matrice de Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa. Ce but a été atteint et les résultats obtenus vont au delà des attentes. Les usines à B ont en effet révolutionné notre compréhension du Modèle Standard en fournissant des nombreaux tests et des limites précises sur des scénarios de physique au delà du Modèle Standard. Ces limites peuvent souvent dépasser celles qui seront obtenus par le LHC.
