Description
We have measured the B0 bar B0 mixing probability, χd, using a sample of 965 000 B bar B pairs from Υ(4S) decays. Counting dilepton events, we find χd=0.157±0.016±0.018-0.021+0.028. Using tagged B0 events, we find χd=0.149±0.023±0.019±0.010. The first (second) error is statistical (systematic). The third error reflects a ±15% uncertainty in the assumption, made in both cases, that charged and neutral B pairs contribute equally to dilepton events. We also obtain a limit on the CP impurity in the Bd0 system, |Re(εB0)|<0.045 at 90% C.L
