Lifetime ratio  (B + )/  (B 0 ) from semileptonic decays  measure from semileptonic B decays directly lifetime ratio instead of absolute lifetimes  select following samples:  B   D 0 X  B   D* X  sample compositions:  “D 0 sample”:  + K +  - + anything  B + 82%, B 0 16%, B s 2%  “D* sample”:  + D 0  - + anything  B + 12%, B 0 86%, B s 2%  estimates based on measured BR and isospin relations  group events in 8 bins of visible proper decay length (VPDL) VPDL = L T / p T (  D 0 )  M B L T = transverse decay length

Lifetime ratio  (B + )/  (B 0 ) from semileptonic decays Measure ratio r= N(  + D* - )/N(  + D 0 ) in each bin i Combinatorial background with true D 0 in D* sample is subtracted using wrong-sign distribution  no need for parameterisation of background VPDL distribution Additional inputs to the fit: - sample compositions (previous slide) - K-factors (from simulation) K = p T (  D 0 ) / p T (B) (separately for different decay modes) - relative reconstruction efficiencies for different B decay modes (from simulation) - slow pion reconstruction efficiency [flat for p T (D 0 ) > 5 GeV (one of our cuts)] - decay length resolution (from simulation) -  (B + ) =  ps [PDG] one example VPDL bin

Lifetime ratio  (B + )/  (B 0 ) from semileptonic decays  systematics currently dominated by  time dependence of slow pion reconstruction efficiency  relative reconstruction efficiencies C Y  Br(B +   + D* -  + X)  K-factors  decay length resolution differences D 0  D* use binned  2 fit of event ratios to determine  (B + )/  (B 0 ) Preliminary result:  (B + )/  (B 0 ) =  (stat)  (syst)

Lifetime ratio  (B + )/  (B 0 ) from semileptonic decays New D Ø result (average not updated, plot not official or approved by HFAG) This is one of the most precise measurements to date:

B 0 /B 0 mixing  in SM B d mixing is explained by box diagrams  constrains V td CKM matrix element  mixing frequency  m d has been measured with high precision at B factories (0.502  ps -1 )  use our large sample of semileptonic B d decays to measure  m d  benchmark the initial state flavor tagging for later use in B s and  m s measurements

B 0 /B 0 mixing  initial flavor tagging  opposite side tight muon tag  muon p T > 2.5 GeV/c  cos  < 0.5  asymmetry of ‘oscillated’ and ‘non- oscillated’ B mesons as function of VPDL  use binned  2 fit for asymmetry  this is already one of the best measurements in hadron colliders  work in progress to reduce systematics  use other tagging methods  add more D 0 decay channels Preliminary results:  m d =0.506  0.055(stat)  0.049(syst) ps -1 Tagging efficiency: Tagging purity:

Towards B s mixing  semileptonic decays (B s ->  D s )  very good statistics  excellent yield: 9500 candidates in ~250 pb -1  if  m s  15 ps -1 a first indication of B s mixing might be possible with 500 pb -1  fully reconstructed hadronic decays:  poor statistics  excellent proper time resolution  need a few fb -1 of data to reach  m s  18 ps -1

Observation of B   D** X  D** are orbitally excited D meson states, see diagram  in heavy quark limit w/ L=1 expect two sets of doublet states  two broad (decay through S-wave)  two narrow (decay through D- wave)  narrow D**  D 0 1 (2420) -> D* +  -  D 2 * 0 (2460) -> D* +  -  D 1 0, D 2 * 0 have been observed and studied in several experiments, most recently by BaBar and Belle in B -  D** 0  -  we study D 1 0, D 2 * 0 produced in semileptonic B decays. Figure from Belle, hep-ex/

Observation of B   D** X start from B   D*X sample, add another  + look at invariant mass of D* -  + system observed merged D 1 0 (2420) and D 2 * 0 (2460) excess in right-sign combinations can be interpreted as interfering D 1 0 and D 2 * 0 DØ’s preliminary result constrains the resonant contribution Work in progress: extract separate amplitude, relative phase Br(B  {D 1 0,D 2 * 0 }  X)  Br({D 1 0,D 2 * 0 }  D* +  - ) =  (stat)  (syst) %

B s   +  - sensitivity study  purely leptonic B decay is a flavor changing neutral current (FCNC)  forbidden at tree level  highly suppressed in SM  BR(B s ->  )~ 3·10 -9  BR grows with tan 6  in MSSM  very attractive probe for any new physics with extended Higgs sector (Two-Higgs Doublet models) SM: Two-Higgs Doublet models:

B s   +  - sensitivity study  blind analysis: optimization cuts using Random Grid Search based on mass sideband  discriminating variables  isolation of  pair  decay length  opening angle between  pair and decay length direction  expected signal is normalized to B + -> J/  K +  expect 7.3  1.8 background events in signal region Current expected limit (Feldman/Cousins): Br(B s   +  - ) < 1.0  % CL (stat + syst) The box has NOT been opened yet - Reoptimisation still in progress - further improvements expected

X(3872)  J/   +  -  last summer on LP ‘03, Belle announced new particle at ~3872 MeV/c 2  observed in B + decays:  B +  K + X(3872)  X(3872)  J/   +  -  Belle’s discovery has been confirmed by CDF and DØ  DØ preliminary:  300  61 events  4.4  effect  M =  (stat)  (syst) GeV/c 2

X(3872)  J/   +  -  nature of X(3872) is not known  mass surprisingly close to D*D threshold  could be charmonium, hybrid or meson molecule  compare sample of X particles to sample of  (2S) using  |  |<1 and 1<|  |<2 (plot)  decay length dl 0.2 mm  helicity of   isolation of X

X(3872)  J/   +  -  no significant differences between  (2S) and X have been observed  surviving fraction of X behaves similar to  (2S)  more useful once we have models of the production and decay of, e.g., meson molecules that predict the observables used in the comparison  Note that  observation of the charged analog X +  J/   +  0 would rule out cc hypothesis  observation of radiative decays X    c would favour cc hypothesis (Belle set limit). Use DØ’s calorimeter to identify low energy  0 and  : work in progress
