TL;DRAbstract
Proton intensities now available at the AGS are considerably higher than just a few years ago and there are steps planned which should increase the accelerated intensities by a factor of four or more by 1988/89. Longer term plans would introduce a stretcher ring to allow for rapid pulsing of the AGS with a continuous spill. The LAMPF II proposal, if approved, would offer still more protons. Separated kaon beams with intensity similar to our present pion beams are, in fact, possible to build now, with the potential of even high kaon flux in the future. It is particularly attractive to work with a kaon minus beam due to the large number of final state combinations which would be available, due to the strange quark. Pion beams, being made of the same quarks as targets, are not so enticing. And yet our spectroscopy has so far been dominated by the pion results; kaon experiments have been more difficult with a factor of 50 to 100 lower intensity, and separated beams have only been possible
