THE Goals and Techniques of BTeV and LHC-B

Abstract

BTeV and LHC-B are experiments being proposed to study $b$ and $c$ quark decays in hadron-hadron collisions with the aims to look for new phenomena beyond the Standard Model and to measure Standard Model parameters including CKM elements and decay constants. The physics goals, required detection techniques and simulations will be discussed.
