Fixed-Target CP-Violation Experiments at Fermilab
Studies of CP violation, for 30 years focused primarily on the neutral K
meson, are on the threshold of a new era as experiments approach Standard-Model
sensitivities in decays of beauty, charm, and hyperons. The array of
heavy-quark experiments approved and planned at Fermilab may lead to a
significant breakthrough in the next five to ten years.Comment: Revised and expanded for greater clarity and completeness. 15 pages,

Remarks on Muon Experiments and Possible CP Violation in Decay
The first experimental limit on CP violation in pi -> mu -> e decay is
extracted from published results of the CERN g-2 experiment.Comment: 2 pages, LaTeX, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Prospects for Low-Energy Antiproton Physics at Fermilab
Fermilab has long had the world's most intense antiproton source. Despite
this, opportunities for low-energy antiproton physics at Fermilab have in the
past been limited and--with the antiproton source now exclusively dedicated to
serving the needs of the Tevatron Collider--are currently nonexistent. While
the future of antiproton physics at Fermilab is uncertain, the anticipated
shutdown of the Tevatron in about 2009 presents the opportunity for a
world-leading low-energy antiproton program. We summarize the current status of
the Fermilab antiproton facility and review some current topics in hyperon
physics as examples of what might be achievable.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure, submitted to proceedings of the International

MICE: The International Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment
Ionization cooling of a muon beam is a key technique for a Neutrino Factory
or Muon Collider. An international collaboration is mounting an experiment to
demonstrate muon ionization cooling at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. We
aim to complete the experiment by 2010.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, submitted to the Proceedings of the COOL05
