The trigger team from the Center for Experimental Physics, Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) accomplished the Belle2Link joint test with the Central Drift Chamber (CDC) detector prototype and online

computer in July at KEK, Japan, which marked a significant progress in high speed data readout and transmission design for the international collaboration project—Belle II Experiment at KEK.

In March, the team finished drafting the relative Technical Design Report (TDR), and in May the cooperative MOU was signed.

Belle II Detector with Super B-factory is one of large experiments in the world designed to verify the standard model. It was approved by the Japanese government this year.

It was in 2007 when the cooperation started. After visiting the IHEP trigger laboratory at the end of 2007, the experts from KEK considered adopting the fiber and high-speed serial transmission technology developed in BES III design and construction at IHEP.

The success of the Bell2Link joint test with CDC detector prototype indicated that the next step would be the joint design of readout system for the other detector subsystems.
