Btev: Strategy and Sensitivity

The next-generation experiments on Heavy Flavour Physics must be performed at the hadron colliders to exploit the superior production cross-section and availability of all the species of b and c flavored hadrons. The particularly hostile environment of the hadron colliders, on the other hand, requires that new and adequate experimental tecniques be developed to face this extraordinary challenge. The BTeV experiment has developed the right experimental tools to perform this program with very high sensitivity and to extend our knowledge at the frontier of New Physics.
