Abstract

Data collected with the OPAL detector during 1990-1994 are used to measure the time dependence of B_d⁰↔B̄_d⁰ mixing. A sample of 348 D*^± candidates with a lepton in the opposite hemisphere are reconstructed, of which 167 ± 25 are expected to be from B_d⁰ decays. The B_d⁰ oscillation frequency is measured to be Δm_d = 0.567 ± 0.089(stat)_-0.023^+0.029(syst) ps^-1. A previously published analysis of Δm_d using D*^± and lepton candidates in the same hemisphere and jet charge is also updated with a larger data sample. From 1200 D*^±ℓ^∓ candidates, of which 778 ± 84 are expected to be from B_d⁰ decays, we find a value of: Δm_d = 0.539 ± 0.060(stat) ± 0.024(syst) ps^-1. The combined result of these two analyses is Δm_d = 0.548 ± 0.050(stat)_-0.019^+0.023(syst) ps^-1.

N2 - Data collected with the OPAL detector during 1990-1994 are used to measure the time dependence of Bd0↔B̄d0 mixing. A sample of 348 D*± candidates with a lepton in the opposite hemisphere are reconstructed, of which 167 ± 25 are expected to be from Bd0 decays. The Bd0 oscillation frequency is measured to be Δmd = 0.567 ± 0.089(stat)-0.023+0.029(syst) ps-1. A previously published analysis of Δmd using D*± and lepton candidates in the same hemisphere and jet charge is also updated with a larger data sample. From 1200 D*±ℓ∓ candidates, of which 778 ± 84 are expected to be from Bd0 decays, we find a value of: Δmd = 0.539 ± 0.060(stat) ± 0.024(syst) ps-1. The combined result of these two analyses is Δmd = 0.548 ± 0.050(stat)-0.019+0.023(syst) ps-1.
