Experimental Recap

Table 1 summarises the experiments discussed previously in this section. The SLAC and KEK B factories are due to take first data before the turn of the century. Though it is important to remember that new accelerators often take 2-3 years to reach their design goals. HERA-B is already partially instrumented and is already taking data in situ in order to debug and test some of their detector components. They have already achieved the multiple interaction per bunch crossing that is necessary to meet their design considerations. CDF and D0, like the experiments at the e⁺e^- machines, are due to take data again before the end of the century. With their already proven track record in B physics they should be in a good position to be the first to observe CP violation in the B system. Beyond that LHC-B and BTEV (in addition ATLAS and CMS) should be in a good position to further test and even overconstrain the unitarity triangle of CP violation in the standard model and perhaps any new physics beyond.
