2Introduction
HERA-B is a working experiment at DESY
(Hamburg). The original goal was to measure CP
violation in the B ?J/? K0s channel.
- Very sophisticated and challenging detector.
- Very selective J/? trigger.
- Capability to reconstruct the full event
HERA-B can give a valuable contribution in the
J/? studies. ? Reference measurements in
p-Nucleus collisions.

- (limited acceptance in xF relatively
inefficient trigger ) - Targets
- C and Ti (single double wire running)

- Base line physics program for next run
- A) Detailed measurement of atomic number
- dependence of charmonium production
- - Extend existing measurements of J/? and ? to
negative xF. - - First measurement of atomic number dependence
of ?c. - B) Improved bb cross section measurement
- -Systematics limit at ? 15 (normalization).-
Cross section from full reconstructed B mesons - Data for other studies for free e.g.
- Particle production (?, K , p, V0, Hyperons
etc.) - Hard photon production
- - Drell-Yan

18Conclusions
- HERA-B is a challenging detector built to trigger
on J/?s - First results from 2000 data becoming available
- Improved detector trigger in 2002 high
statistics expected - Hera-B offers advantages for Heavy flavour pA
physics - different targets, operated simultaneously
- ? small relative uncertainties
- large acceptance in negative xF region
- full event capability PID, including photon
detection
