The weak decays of beauty hadrons offer a unique opportunity at the SSC to study CP violation in a system other than the neutral kaons and provides a long lever arm for searching for new physics if a strategy can be found for triggering on and identifying these decays. We have determined that the decay sequence B ..-->.. J/psi + X followed by the decay of the J/psi ..-->.. ..mu../sup +/..mu../sup -/ presents an opportunity to both trigger on and to unambiguously distinguish b anti b events from the total cross section events.
