This paper reports on measurements of b-hadron lifetimes, polarization, decay width differences, and Bs mixing using data from the Tevatron collider, advancing understanding of heavy flavor physics.

Contribution

It presents new experimental results on b-hadron properties and Bs mixing parameters from the Tevatron experiments D0 and CDF.

Findings

Measured b-hadron lifetimes with improved precision

Determined polarization amplitudes and decay width differences in Bs to Jpsi Phi

Provided new constraints on Bs mixing parameters

Abstract

The Tevatron collider at Fermilab provides a very rich environment for the study of b-hadrons. Both the D0 and CDF experiments have collected a sample of about 1 fb^{-1}. We report results on three topics: b-hadron lifetimes, polarization amplitudes and the decay width difference in Bs to Jpsi Phi, and Bs mixing.
