Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors measure the mean lifetime, [tau] = 2/([Lambda]{sub L} + [Lambda]{sub H}), and the decay-width difference, [Delta][Lambda] = [Lambda]{sub L} - [Lambda]{sub H}, of the light and heavy mass eigenstates of the B{sub s}° meson, B{sub sL}° and B{sub sH}°, in B{sub s}° → J/[psi][phi] decays using 1.7 fb−1 of data collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron p{bar p} collider. Assuming CP conservation, a good approximation for the B{sub s}° system in the standard model, they obtain [Delta][Lambda] = 0.076{sub -0.063}{sup +0.059}(stat.) ± 0.006(syst.) ps−1 and [tau] = 1.52 ± 0.04(stat.) ± 0.02(syst.) ps, the most precise measurements to date. The constraints on the weak phase and [Delta][Lambda] are consistent with CP conservation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis describes a measurement of the average proper decay time of the B±c mesons, the ground state of bottom and charm quark bound states. The lifetime measurement is carried out in the decay modes B±c → J/[Psi] + e± + X and B±c → J/[Psi] + [mu]± + X, where the J/[Psi] decays as J/[Psi] → [mu]+[mu]- and the X are unmeasured particles such as ve or v[mu]. The data are collect by the CDF II detector which measures the properties of particles created in √s = 1.96 TeV p$\bar{p}$ collisions delivered by the Fermilab Tevatron. This measurement uses ~ 1 fb-1 of integrated luminosity. The measured average proper decay time of B±c mesons, [tau] = 0.475-0.049+0.053(stat.) ± 0.018(syst.) ps, is competitive with the most precise measurements in the world and confirms previous measurements and theoretical predictions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decades the current theoretical description, the Standard Model of elementary particle physics, was solidified by many measurements as the basic theory describing fundamental particles and their interactions. It is extremely successful in explaining the high-precision data collected by experiments so far. The Standard Model includes several intrinsic parameters which have to be measured in experiments. Independent analyses of different physical processes can constrain those parameters. By combining those measurements physicists might be sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model. If they are inconsistent it allows to get a hint on the theory that might supersede the Standard Model. The goal of the analysis presented in this thesis is to measure some of these parameters in the B{sub s} meson system. The B{sub s} meson, consisting of an anti-b and s quark, is not a pure mass eigenstate, thus allowing a B{sub s} meson to oscillate into its antiparticle via weak interacting processes. This is a general feature of any neutral meson. The history of meson mixing measurements is more then 50 years old. It was first observed in the kaon system. The oscillation in the B{sub d} system was measured very precisely by the B factories, whereas the oscillation frequency of the B{sub s} was measured with more than 5[sigma] significance last year by CDF and first evidence for mixing in the D0 system was presented only this year.

Book excerpt: Proton-antiproton collision data corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of [approximately] 21 pb[sup [minus]1] were collected with the CDF detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider during 1992--1993. The lifetime of the B[sub s] meson is measured using events from the semileptonic decay B[sub s] [yields] [ell][sup +][nu]D[sub s][sup [minus]]X and from the exclusive decay B[sub s] [yields] J/[psi][phi]. For the semileptonic decay channel, 76 [ell][sup +]D[sub s][sup [minus]] signal events are selected where the D[sub s] is identified via the decay D[sub s][sup [minus]] [yields] [phi][pi][sup [minus]], [phi] [yields] K[sup +]K[sup [minus]]. From this sample the B[sub s] meson lifetime is determined to be [tau][sub s] = 1.42[sub [minus]0.23][sup +0.27] (stat.)[sub [minus]0.11][sup +0.11] (syst.) ps. In the J/[psi][phi] channel, 11 events are used and the lifetime is found to be [tau][sub s] = 1.74[sub [minus]0.60][sup +0.90] (stat.)[sub [minus]0.07][sup +0.07] (syst.) ps.

Download or read book Measurement of the B s0 Lifetime in B s0 K K Decays written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A method is presented to simultaneously separate the contributions to a sample of B{sub (s)}° 2!hh{sup {prime}-} decays, where h = [pi] or K, and measure the B meson lifetimes in the sample while correcting for the bias in the lifetime distributions due to the hadronic trigger at the CDF experiment. Using 1 fb−1 of data collected at CDF the B° lifetime is measured as [tau]{sub B°} = 1.558{sub -0.047}{sup +0.050}{sub stat} ± 0.028{sub syst} ps, in agreement with the world average measurement. The B{sub s}° lifetime in the B{sub s}° 2!KK− decay is measured as [tau]{sub B{sub s}° 2!K+K−} = 1.51{sub -0.11}{sup +0.13}{sub stat} ± 0.04{sub syst} ps. No difference is observed between the lifetime and other measurements of the average B{sub s}° lifetime or the lifetime of the light B{sub s}° mass eigenstate determined from B{sub s}° 2!J/[psi][phi] decays. With the assumptions that B{sub s}° 2!K+K− is 100% CP-even and that [tau]{sub B{sub s}°} = [tau]{sub B°} the width difference in the B{sub s}{sup 0} system is determined as [Delta][Lambda]{sup CP}/[Lambda] = 0.03{sub -0.15}{sup +0.17}{sub stat} ± 0.05{sub syst} using the current world average B{sup 0} lifetime. This is consistent with zero and with the current world average measurement.
