The ASTERIX spectrometer at LEAR
The ASTERIX spectrometer has been used to study the formation and the ground state of the pp atom and exclusive final states of pp annihilation at rest in a H2 gas target at NTP, using antiprotons from the Low Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR) at CERN. The article describes the mechanical construction of the apparatus, the trigger logic, the chamber readout, and the data acquisition system. The detector calibration and the offline processing of the 55 million reconstructed events are illustrated. An overview is given about the new physics results obtained by the experiment.

Precision synchrotron radiation detectors
Precision detectors for measuring synchrotron radiation beam positions have been designed and installed as part of beam energy spectrometers at the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC). The distance between pairs of synchrotron radiation beams is measured absolutely to better than 28 mu m on a pulse-to-pulse basis, thereby contributing less than 5 MeV to the error in the measurement of SLC beam energies (approximately 50 GeV). A system of high-resolution video cameras viewing precisely aligned fiducial wire arrays overlaying phosphorescent screens has achieved this accuracy. Detectors of synchrotron radiation using the charge developed by the ejection of Compton-recoil electrons from an array of fine wires are being developed.<<ETX>>

B physics at the Fermilab Tevatron after the year 2000
Abstract The requirements for second-generation B experiments at hadron colliders are discussed. The prospects for mounting such an experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider are reviewed. Early results from a design study which is intended to produce an optimum detector for the Tevatron are presented.

Prospects for heavy flavor physics at hadron colliders
The role of hadron colliders in the observation and study of CP violation in B decays is discussed. We show that hadron collider experiments can play a significant role in the early studies of these phenomena and will play an increasingly dominant role as the effort turns towards difficult to measure decays, especially those of the Bs meson, and sensitive searches for rare decays and subtle deviations from Standard Model predictions. We conclude with a discussion of the relative merits of hadron collider detectors with ‘forward’ vs ’central’ rapidity coverage.

B Physics at the Tevatron: Now, Soon, and Later
We discuss recent B physics results obtained at the Fermilab Tevatron by CDF, prospects for observing CP violation in the next run, and a proposal for a Dedicated B Collider Experiment, BTeV, at the Tevatron after the next collider run.
