The physics goals and techniques of the proposed BTeV experiment at the C0 Tevatron interaction area are summarized, with emphasis on aspects of the experiment that depend on near-beam issues. BTeV aims to carry out a comprehensive study of rare processes (especially CP violation) in charm and beauty decay starting in collider Run II. Vertex detectors will be deployed within a few mm of the beam. Early running may employ a wire target in the beam halo.
