Measuring the charged to neutral B Meson lifetime ratio in {bar p}p collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV

Journal Article · · Bulletin of the American Physical Society
OSTI ID:243534

The authors present preliminary results of a measurement of the charged to neutral B meson lifetime ratio using B mesons produced in {bar p}p collisions. For this measurement, they use fully reconstructed B{sup {+-}}{r_arrow}J/{psi}K{sup {+-}}, B{sup 0}{r_arrow}J/{psi}K*(892){sup 0} and B{sup 0}{r_arrow}J/{psi}K{sub S}{sup 0} events recorded by the CDF experiment during the 1992-93 Tevatron collider run at Fermilab. They obtain the charged and neutral B meson decay length distributions by directly measuring the secondary vertex position using the CDF silicon vertex detector.
