B-Mixing and Lifetime Difference at CDF and DO

  • 1. Physics Dept., Indiana University, SW117, Bloomington, IN 47405 (United States)

Description

After years of searching we are narrowing in on a measurement of the oscillation frequency in the Bs meson system. Exciting results have recently emerged in this area from the Tevatron. These results are discussed as well as related measurements of the Bs lifetime difference. Taken together, these measurements comprise a sensitive probe of the electro-weak symmetry breaking mechanism
