Measurement of the B$$0\atop{d}$$ lifetime using B$$0\atop{d}$$ → J/ΨK$$0\atop{S}$$ decays at D0
- Univ. of Amsterdam (Netherlands)
This thesis describes a measurement of the B$$0\atop{d}$$ lifetime in the decay to (J/ΨK$$0\atop{S}$$), using 114 pb-1 of data collected by the D0 experiment at the Tevatron from October 15, 2002, to June 10, 2003. The measurement is motivated by the tests of the Standard Model that it makes possible. These include tests of Heavy Quark Effective Theory predicting B-meson lifetimes, and of the complex phase in the CKM-matrix as the source of CP-violation in B$$0\atop{d}$$ decays to (J/ΨK$$0\atop{S}$$).
