$B^{0}\overline{B^{0}}$ oscillations at LEP

We report the LEP results on B/sup 0/B/sup 0/ oscillations, together with a review of the analysis strategies. Many measurements of the B /sub d//sup 0/ oscillation frequency have been performed giving an average, Delta m/sub d/=0.486+or-0.015 ps/sup -1/. Lower limits on Delta m/sub s/ are presented...

Sumario:We report the LEP results on B/sup 0/B/sup 0/ oscillations, together with a review of the analysis strategies. Many measurements of the B /sub d//sup 0/ oscillation frequency have been performed giving an average, Delta m/sub d/=0.486+or-0.015 ps/sup -1/. Lower limits on Delta m/sub s/ are presented, giving a LEP-combined limit, Delta m /sub s/>11.8 ps/sup -1/, with an expected exclusion limit of 14.5 ps /sup -1/. When combined with SLD and CDF, a tantalising 2.5% effect at about 17 ps/sup -1/ is observed, having a probability of about 2.5% for a fluctuation of a sample where the true frequency is beyond the global sensitivity.
