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, Delta(m_d), between the two mass eigenstates in the B^0_d system is measured to be 0.430 +/- 0.043 + 0.028 - 0.030 ps^-1, where the first error is statistical and the second error is systematic. For the B^0_s system, a lower limit of Delta(m_s) > 2.2 ps^-1 is obtained at 95% C.L.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1997-07-03T09:08:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "meson oscillations", "dilepton events", "updated study", "decay times", "paper reports" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 445190, "adsabs": "1997hep.ex....7010T" } } }
