Abstract

This paper reports a study of B meson oscillations using hadronic Z⁰ decays with two identified leptons, and updates a previous publication by including data collected in 1994. Decay times are reconstructed for each of the semileptonic B decays by forming vertices which include the lepton and by estimating the B meson momentum. The mass difference, Δm_d, between the two mass eigenstates in the B_d⁰ system is measured to be 0.430 ± 0.043 _-0.030^+0.028 ps^-1, where the first error is statistical and the second error is systematic. For the B_s⁰ system, a lower limit of Δm_s > 2.2 ps^-1 is obtained at 95% C.L.

N2 - This paper reports a study of B meson oscillations using hadronic Z0 decays with two identified leptons, and updates a previous publication by including data collected in 1994. Decay times are reconstructed for each of the semileptonic B decays by forming vertices which include the lepton and by estimating the B meson momentum. The mass difference, Δmd, between the two mass eigenstates in the Bd0 system is measured to be 0.430 ± 0.043 -0.030+0.028 ps-1, where the first error is statistical and the second error is systematic. For the Bs0 system, a lower limit of Δms > 2.2 ps-1 is obtained at 95% C.L.
