Abstract |
|
We report several
studies of the time dependence of Bs mixing using a
sample of 400,000 hadronic Z decays collected by the SLD
experiment at the SLC. The analyses take advantage of
the excellent vertexing efficiency and resolution of the
pixel-based CCD Vertex Detector. All analyses determine
the B flavor at production by exploiting the large
forward-backward asymmetry of polarized Z->bb decays
and using additional information from the hemisphere
opposite that of the reconstructed B decay. Four
separate analyses are presented. Two analyses select
semileptonic B decays and two analyses reconstruct
inclusive B decays. The analyses are combined to set a
lower limit on the Bs mixing oscillation frequency with
a sensitivity comparable to that of the current world
average. |
