Abstract

The observation and measurement of the time-dependence of B⁰_d↔B⁰_d mixing are described. The B⁰_d meson is reconstructed in final states that contain a D^*- and an ℓ⁺, where the b flavour of the B⁰_d at decay time is tagged by the electric charge of the lepton. A new and efficient method, using a jet charge technique, is developed for identifying the b flavour of the produced B⁰_d. From a sample of 556 D^*±ℓ^∓ candidates reconstructed in the OPAL data collected during 1990-1993, the B⁰_d↔B⁰_d oscillation frequency is measured to be Δm_d = 0.508 ± 0.075 (stat) ±0.025(syst) ps^-1 giving an oscillation parameter of χ_d = 0.73 ± 0.11 (stat) ±0.08 (syst), where 0.076 of the systematic error on χ_d arises from the uncertainty on the B⁰_d lifetime.

N2 - The observation and measurement of the time-dependence of B0d↔B0d mixing are described. The B0d meson is reconstructed in final states that contain a D*- and an ℓ+, where the b flavour of the B0d at decay time is tagged by the electric charge of the lepton. A new and efficient method, using a jet charge technique, is developed for identifying the b flavour of the produced B0d. From a sample of 556 D*±ℓ∓ candidates reconstructed in the OPAL data collected during 1990-1993, the B0d↔B0d oscillation frequency is measured to be Δmd = 0.508 ± 0.075 (stat) ±0.025(syst) ps-1 giving an oscillation parameter of χd = 0.73 ± 0.11 (stat) ±0.08 (syst), where 0.076 of the systematic error on χd arises from the uncertainty on the B0d lifetime.
