Charm2000: A >10^8-charm experiment for the turn of the millennium

Abstract

I discuss the physics reach of a fixed-target charm experiment which can reconstruct >10^8 charm decays, three orders of magnitude beyond the largest extant sample. Such an experiment may run at Fermilab shortly after the Year 2000. In addition to "programmatic" charm physics such as spectroscopy, lifetimes, and tests of QCD, this "Charm2000" experiment will have significant sensitivity to new physics in the areas of CP violation, flavor-changing neutral-current and lepton-number-violating decays, and mixing, and could observe direct CP violation in Cabibbo-suppressed decays at the level predicted by the Standard Model.
