B physics at SLD: B{sup +} and B{sub d}{sup 0} lifetimes, B{sub s}{sup 0} mixing and search for b {yields} sg decays

The authors report new preliminary B Physics results obtained with 300,000 hadronic Z{sup 0} decays collected by the SLD experiment at the SLC between 1993 and 1997. Three analyses are presented: a measurement of B{sup +} and B{sub d}{sup 0} lifetimes, a study of the time dependence of B{sub s}{sup...

Description
Summary:The authors report new preliminary B Physics results obtained with 300,000 hadronic Z{sup 0} decays collected by the SLD experiment at the SLC between 1993 and 1997. Three analyses are presented: a measurement of B{sup +} and B{sub d}{sup 0} lifetimes, a study of the time dependence of B{sub s}{sup 0}-{anti B}{sub s}{sup 0} mixing, and a search for decays of the type b {yields} sg. All analyses benefit from the small and stable interaction point and the excellent resolution and efficiency provided by the pixel-based CCD Vertex Detector. The b {yields} sg analysis also exploits the particle identification capabilities of the Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector.
