Schindler, R H

The current plans for a high luminosity e/sup +/e/sup /minus// collider between 3.0 and 4.4 GeV/c/sup 2/ are described. Such a dedicated facility (The Tau-Charm Factory), operating near tau-pair and charm thresholds would allow studies of the decay of the third generation tau-lepton and the second generation c-quark with unprecedented precision and control of systematics. The charm physics of such a facility is discussed. 24 refs., 4 figs., 7 tabs.
