The probability of B{sup 0}-{bar B}{sup 0} mixing has been measured using the D{O} detector. Non-isolated dimuon events are used to determine the ratio of like to unlike-sign pairs. The measured ratio is 0.48 {+-} 0.04(stat.) {+-} 0.03(syst.), compared with the expected value of 0.23 {+-} 0.07 in the absence of B{sup 0}-{bar B}{sup 0} mixing. The combined mixing probability is measured to be 0.13 {+-} 0.02(stat.) {+-} 0.05(syst.) in good agreement with other experimental measurements.
