Abstract

Heavy flavor physics is an important element in understanding the nature of particle physics. Accurate knowledge of the properties of heavy flavor physics plays an essential role for the determination of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix. An asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ B factory KEKB and its experiment Belle is under way. It will be upgraded to Super Belle in a few years, and the size of the B meson sample will be dramatically increased. Also, the data size of Tevatron experiments (CDF, D0) are on the order of Peta Byte (PB). Therefore, we need to use a new concept of e-Science in this area. This concept implies studying a huge size of data from heavy flavor physics anytime and anywhere even if we are not on-site in accelerator laboratories. The components of this concept include data production, data processing, and data analysis. We apply this concept to the current CDF experiment at Tevatron. We will expand this concept to Super Belle and large hadron collider (LHC) experiments, which will achieve an accuracy of measurements in the next decades.
