Towards CP-violation results from D0
We have made a preliminary study of a dimuon sample corresponding to 114 pb{sup -1} of data taken in Run II at the Tevatron. From this sample we have selected 157 {+-} 20 B{sub d} {yields} J/{psi}K{sub S}{sup 0} and 133 {+-} 17 B{sub s} {yields} J/{psi}{phi} decays. In a subset of the data we have measured the B{sup {+-}} lifetime in the J/{psi}K{sup {+-}} channel to be 1.76 {+-} 0.24 ps. We have implemented a jet-charge initial-flavor tag as well as a soft-muon tag, and we have measured the respective tagging powers to be (2.4 {+-} 1.7)% and (3.3 {+-} 1.8)%. Our conclusion from these studies is that we have made good progress towards understanding all ingredients required to make CP violation measurements in the B{sub d} and B{sub s} systems.
