✦ Synopsis

For the BTeV Collaboration

The BTeV Collaboration is designing a detector to perform a broad program of studies in flavor physics in the beauty and charm systems: CF' violation, flavor mixing and searches for rare and forbidden decays. The program will be sensitive to many signatures for physics beyond the Standard Model. The BTeV detector will be located at the CZero interaction region of the Tevatron p-p collider at Fermilab. This report will present the status of the program, review the detector design with emphasis on new developments, survey the projected physics reach, and conclude with expectations for the future.
