BTeV is an R&D effort which is designing a dedicated B-physics experiment to be located at the Fermilab Collider in the late Run II era ( c 2006 ). The experiment will be the first of the second generation experiments in the exploration of the CP violating phenomena which are predicted to occur in the decays of hadrons containing b quarks. The experiment will use use a forward spectrometer, with a pixel based vertex detector, to exploit the long decay lengths of B hadrons produced at large rapidity.

The FOCUS experiment is a forward spectrometer which detects charmed hadrons produced in photon-nucleon interactions. This is a high statistics experiment which has over 10 times the data of its predecessor, E687. The physics analysis of the 1996/97 data set is now in progress. Topics under study include doubly Cabbibo suppressed decays and D0/D0bar mixing, semi-leptonic decays, lifetime studies of the charmed baryons, charmed spectroscopy and searches for rare decays.
