Various experimental approaches to obtaining large samples of reconstructed B decays have been discussed in several places (see for example, ref. 1–6). One major segment of the community at present feels the optimum way to accomplish this objective of B physics is to develop very high luminosity (10 34 cm 2 sec −1 ) (symmetric or asymmetric) e + e − machines. Other groups feels that a hadron collider experiment, in spite of formidable experimental difficulties and the requirement of developing new technologies plus the expense and time required to construct the requisite 4° detector, offers the best opportunity for accumulating large statistics.
