Status of BTeV: A dedicated b physics experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider
BTeV is a program whose long term goal is to carry out precision studies of CP violation, mixing, and raare decays of bottom and charmed quarks in the forward direction at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. It is planned for the new interaction region, C0, currently being constructed. We describe the technique, physics reach, and status of BTeV.

Spectroscopy and decays of charm and bottom
After a brief review of the quark model, we discuss our present knowledge of the spectroscopy of charm and bottom mesons and baryons. We go on to review the lifetimes, semileptonic, and purely leptonic decays of these particles. We conclude with a brief discussion B and D mixing and rare decays.

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.

Calibration of a digital hadron calorimeter with muons
The calibration procedure of a finely granulated digital hadron calorimeter with Resistive Plate Chambers as the active elements is described. Results obtained with a stack of nine layers exposed to muons from the Fermilab test beam are presented.

Measurement of Positron Showers with a Digital Hadron Calorimeter
A small prototype of a finely granulated digital hadron calorimeter with Resistive Plate Chambers as active elements was exposed to positrons of 1?16 GeV energy from the Fermilab test beam. The response function, energy resolution, as well as measurements of the shape of electromagnetic showers are presented. The data are compared to a Monte Carlo simulation of the set-up.
