Abstract

A lower limit on the oscillation frequency of the B⁰_SB⁰_S system is obtained from approximately four million hadronic Z decays accumulated using the ALEPH detector at LEP from 1991 to 1995. Leptons are combined with opposite sign D^-_S candidates reconstructed in seven different decay modes as evidence of semileptonic B⁰_S decays. Criteria designed to ensure precise proper time reconstruction select 277 D^-_Sl⁺ combinations. The initial state of these B⁰_S candidates is determined using an algorithm optimized to efficiently utilise the tagging information available for each event. The limit at 95% confidence level on the B⁰_SB⁰_S oscillation frequency is Δm_s > 6.6 ps^-1. The same data is used to update the measurement of the B⁰_S lifetime, τ_s = 1.54 ^+0.14_-0.13, (stat) ± 0.04 (syst) ps.

N2 - A lower limit on the oscillation frequency of the B0SB0S system is obtained from approximately four million hadronic Z decays accumulated using the ALEPH detector at LEP from 1991 to 1995. Leptons are combined with opposite sign D-S candidates reconstructed in seven different decay modes as evidence of semileptonic B0S decays. Criteria designed to ensure precise proper time reconstruction select 277 D-Sl+ combinations. The initial state of these B0S candidates is determined using an algorithm optimized to efficiently utilise the tagging information available for each event. The limit at 95% confidence level on the B0SB0S oscillation frequency is Δms > 6.6 ps-1. The same data is used to update the measurement of the B0S lifetime, τs = 1.54 +0.14-0.13, (stat) ± 0.04 (syst) ps.
