Abstract

We report a measurement of the B⁰_s meson lifetime from B⁰_s → D^-_sX decays, where D^-_s mesons are reconstructed in the D^-_s → φπ^- and D^-_s → K*⁰K^- decay channels. From approximately 3.7 million hadronic Z⁰ decays recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP a sample is selected containing 911 ± 83 candidates, of which 519 ± 136 are estimated to be from B⁰_s meson decays. Fitting the distribution of the distance from the beam spot to the decay vertex of the D^-_s candidates with an unbinned likelihood function we measure π(B⁰_s) = 1 72^+0.20+0.18_-0.19-0.17 ps, where the errors are statistical and systematic, respectively.

N2 - We report a measurement of the B0s meson lifetime from B0s → D-sX decays, where D-s mesons are reconstructed in the D-s → φπ- and D-s → K*0K- decay channels. From approximately 3.7 million hadronic Z0 decays recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP a sample is selected containing 911 ± 83 candidates, of which 519 ± 136 are estimated to be from B0s meson decays. Fitting the distribution of the distance from the beam spot to the decay vertex of the D-s candidates with an unbinned likelihood function we measure π(B0s) = 1 72+0.20+0.18-0.19-0.17 ps, where the errors are statistical and systematic, respectively.
