Abstract

A key ingredient to searches for physics beyond the Standard Model in Bºs mixing phenomena is the measurement of the Bºs– B¯ºs oscillation frequency, which is equivalent to the mass difference Δms of the Bºs mass eigenstates. Using the world's largest Bºs meson sample accumulated in a dataset, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb−1, collected by the LHCb experiment at the CERN LHC in 2011, a measurement of Δms is presented. A total of about 34 000 Bºs → D−sπ+ signal decays are reconstructed, with an average decay time resolution of 44 fs. The oscillation frequency is measured to be Δms = 17.768 ± 0.023 (stat) ± 0.006 (syst) ps−1, which is the most precise measurement to date.
