Title: Measurement of b_s oscillations at CDF

Conference · · Nucl.Phys.Proc.Suppl.167:131-135,2007
OSTI ID:897037

The first precise measurement of the B{sub s}{sup 0} - {bar B}{sub s}{sup 0} oscillation frequency {Delta}m{sub s} with the CDFII experiment is summarized in this talk. The measurement is performed with 1 fb{sup -1} of data collected at the Fermilab Tevatron hadron collider. They find a signal consistent with flavor oscillations; the probability that such a signal is originated by random fluctuations is 0.2%. They measure {Delta}m{sub s} = 17.31{sub -0.18}{sup +0.33}(stat.) {+-} 0.07(syst.)ps{sup -1}. After a brief theoretical overview, the author describes the experimental technique and shows the results of the CDF analysis and the |V{sub td}/V{sub ts}| value we infer from this measurement.
