- Summary
- A preliminary study of time dependence of B°{bar B}° oscillations using dilepton events is presented. The flavor of the B meson is determined by the charge sign of the lepton. To separate signal leptons from cascade and fake leptons we have used a method which combines several discriminating variables in a neural network. The time evolution of the oscillations is studied by reconstructing the time difference between the decays of the B mesons produced by the Υ(4S) decay. With an integrated luminosity of 7.7 fb⁻¹ collected on resonance by BABAR at the PEP-II asymmetric B Factory, we measure the difference in mass of the neutral B eigenstates, Δm{sub B°}, to be (0.507 ± 0.015 ± 0.022) x 10¹² ℏ s⁻¹.
