    Measurement of the average lifetime of B hadrons

    No full text
    The average lifetime of B hadrons produced in hadronic Z0 decays has been measured with the DELPHI detector at LEP. The measurement is based on the analysis of the impact parameter distributions of high pt muons and hadrons. The resulting mean B lifetimes are τB=(1.30±0.10±0.08)ps and τB=(1.27±0.04±0.12)ps respectively, giving a combined value of τB=(1.28±0.10)ps. The hadronic sample was also used to measure the partial Z0 width Mathematical expression and gave a value of 0.222-0.031+0.033±0.017. © 1992 Springer-Verlag
