B--Physics in Hadron Colliders

The possibility of exploring the systematics of the spectroscopy, strong dynamics, and the weak and rare decay modes of b--quark systems at hadron colliders such as Fermilab, LHC and SSC, is discussed. A copious yield of $10^{10}$ detected $B$--mesons is readily accessible in a dedicated Fermilab program, and implies a vast array of accessible decay modes, including second order weak processes and $CP$--violation, which will be unavailable elsewhere until the commissioning of LHC or SSC. Kinematic and flavor tagging, utilizing the ``daughter pions'' from resonances, is expected to play a major role in semileptonic weak decay studies and the search for $CP$--violation.
