A measurement of the mass difference, Delta m(d), be tween the two physical B-d(0) states has been obtained from the analysis of the impact parameter distribution of a lepton emitted at large transverse momentum (p(t)) relative to the jet axis and from the analysis of the flight distance distribution of secondary vertices tagged by either a high p(t) lepton or an identified kaon.

Abstract
A measurement of the mass difference, Delta m(d), be tween the two physical B-d(0) states has been obtained from the analysis of the impact parameter distribution of a lepton emitted at large transverse momentum (p(t)) relative to the jet axis and from the analysis of the flight distance distribution of secondary vertices tagged by either a high p(t) lepton or an identified kaon. In the opposite hemisphere of the event, the charge of the initial quark has been evaluated using a high p(t) lepton, a charged kaon or the mean jet charge, With 1.7 million hadronic Z(0) decays recorded by DELPHI between 1991 and 1993, Delta m(d) is found to be: Delta m(d) = 0.531 (+0.050)(-0.046) (stat.) +/- 0.078 (syst.) ps(-1).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
