In this paper we review the motivation for building asymmetric B ‐factories based on storage rings and describe the current LBL/SLAC study to develop such a factory by modifying the PEP storage ring and adding a new low energy (2.5–3 GeV) storage ring. Collisions between the beam of the modified high energy PEP ring and the low energy ring lead to a luminosity of 2 × 10 33 cm −2 sec −1 at E cm = Y (4 s ) with currents of 0.8A in each beam. Further increases in current can lead to luminosities close to 10 34 cm −2 sec −1 .
