Prospects for beauty physics at hadron colliders or What to do when the glue doesn't stick
The cross section for /ital gg//r arrow//ital BB/bar // is relatively high at collider energies, so that a one year run at RHIC or TEV I might yield /gt/10/sup 10/ /ital B/-/ital B/bar // pairs, and /gt/10/sup 12/ pairs at the SSC. The challege to the experimenter is to trigger on and reconstruct a significant fraction of this sample. Detectors are being proposed which make extensive use of silicon vertexing, VLSI readout, and massive online numerical processing with the goal of maintaining a 1% efficiency for few-body decays to all-charged final states. If achieved at the SSC for L=10/sup 32/ cm/sup /minus/2/sec/sup /minus/1/, this would be equivalent to an /ital e//sup +//ital e/minus// /ital B/ factory operating at L=10/sup 36/ cm/sup /minus/2/sec/sup /minus/1/ and 100% reconstruction efficiency. Even at RHIC or TEV I with 10/sup 8/ reconstructible /ital B/'s, the strongest signals for /ital CP/ violation in the /ital B//minus//ital B/bar // system would be accessible.
