The Physics of Beauty
The interest in this field has been triggered by the problem of B°-B°
bar mixing. The analysis has concentrated in the semi-leptonic decay channel
for which the know-how from the HPC data analysis has been particularly useful.
Later on, the increased statistics suggested to move toward the study of
the Bs-meson, identified through its decay
into Ds. The B lifetime has been
measured accurately.
The same methods used for the determination of the lifetime have also
been applied to the study of the time-dependent oscillations.
The difference between the two mass eigenstates
BS
-BL has been measured (actually only
its lower limit has been determined so far).
