D∅ prospects for run II physics

Run II at the Tevatron will begin in the spring of 2001. With pp̄ collisions at s=2.0 TeV and an expected instantaneous luminosity of 2×1032 cm−2 s−1, D∅ is expecting to collect an integrated luminosity of 2 fb−1 in the first 2 years of running. The ongoing upgrade of the detector will allow the experiment not only to take full advantage of the high luminosity but will also allow for a rich B physics program at DØ. In this paper the prospects for some important B physics measurements will be reviewed. These measurements include CP violation, Bs mixing, rare B decays, and lifetimes and mass measurements of bottom particles such as the Λb and Bc.
