Description

The UA1 group has reported a large B-barB production cross-section at Santi-ppS energies (∼ 1 μb). Following this observation it is indicated how the large rate of B mesons produced in anti-pp collisions could be used to search for and detect various rate decays. Several specific decays and the theoretical expectations and implications of the detections of these decays have been considered. Tests of the GIM model, horizontal symmetry and CP violation can be carried out in this manner. A spectrometer consisting of a CCD telescope, a magnetized muon detection spectrometer and an e.m. shower detector is described
