A Tau-Charm factory in the United States

As the conclusions of the many presentations made at the Tau-Charm Workshop illustrate, a strong case can be made for the physics program that can be accomplished at a Tau-Charm Facility. This idea is now being taken one step further. A group of physicists and engineers have started a serious effort to design a Tau-Charm Facility for the US. Their first choice would be to place the Facility at SLAC, but, since it would be built with its own injector and positron source, it could be built at any number of other suitable locations in the US. The people who worked hard on the concept (both from the accelerator physics and particle physics points-of-view) and the initial design leading up to the Workshop are given in the first reference
