Abstract
Measurements of the inclusive b hadron lifetime and of the lifetime of B{sup 0}, B{sup {+-}}, B{sub s} and b baryons are presented. The inclusive b hadron lifetime is determined from the lepton impact parameter, with b events decaying to J/{psi}, and using a dipole method. The mean lifetime is: 1.49{+-}0.04 ps. ALEPH has also made measurements of the B{sup (0)({+-})} lifetimes using lepton D{sup (}*{sup )({+-})} correlations and from complete reconstruction of B{sup 0} and B{sup {+-}} events. The ratio of the B{sup 0}/B{sup {+-}} lifetimes is: 1.03{+-}0.21. The B{sub s} lifetime is 1.90{+-}{sub 0.36}{sup 0.46}{+-}0.05 ps. The mean b baryon lietime is: 1.14{+-}0.25 ps. (orig.)
