This thesis presents the results from the investigation of time dependent B$$0\atop{d}$$ $$\bar{B}$$$$0\atop{d}$$ mixing in B → lepton X, B$$0\atop{d}$$ → D*- → $$\bar{D}$$0 π-, $$\bar{D}$$0 → K+ π- channel in p$$\bar{p}$$ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV using 110 pb-1 data collected with the CDF detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The $$\bar{D}$$0 vertex is reconstructed. The B$$0\atop{d}$$ decay length is estimated using the distance from the primary vertex to the measured position of the D0 vertex. The B0 momentum is estimated using the D0 momentum and a kinematic correction factor from Monte Carlo. With the dilution floating, ΔMd = 0.55 ±$$0.15\atop{0.16}$$ (stat) ± 0.06 (syst)ps-1 is measured.
