The broad physics program covers e.g. physics with B and D mesons, muon and tau leptons as well as measurements using the method of radiative returns and direct searches for New Physics. Among these analyses, there is the search for a Dark Photon decaying into light dark matter or leptons, and the precision measurement of the muon pair asymmetry that both have demanding requirements for the trigger system and the latter also for precision QED theory. 000000317 8560_ $$fferber@physics.ubc.ca 000000317 8564_ $$uhttps://docs.belle2.org/record/317/files/BELLE2-CONF-PROC-2016-001.pdf
