Prospects for B-Physics in the Next Decade

Abstract

In these lectures I review what has been learned from studies of b-quark decays, including semileptonic decays ($V_{ub}$ and $V_{cb}$), $B^o-\overline{B}^o$ mixing and rare B decays. Then a discussion on CP violation follows, which leads to a summary of plans for future experiments and what is expected to be learned from them.
