The authors measure the mean lifetime, [tau] = 2/([Lambda]{sub L} + [Lambda]{sub H}), and the decay-width difference, [Delta][Lambda] = [Lambda]{sub L} - [Lambd
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 m
This thesis describes a measurement of the lifetime of the B± c meson in an exclusive decay channel B± c 2!J/ [psi] [pi]±, where the J/[psi] decays as J/[psi
The authors present a measurement of the B{sub c} meson lifetime in the semileptonic decay mode B{sub c}+ → J/?e+?{sub e} using the CDF II detector at the Fer
