Abstract

Using a proton–proton collision data sample collected by the LHCb detector and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.7fb^-1, the lifetime of the light B_s⁰ mass eigenstate, τ_L, is measured using the B_s⁰→J/ψη decay mode to be

τ_L=1.445±0.016(stat)±0.008(syst)ps.

A combination of this result with a previous LHCb analysis using an independent dataset corresponding to 3 fb^-1 of integrated luminosity gives

τ_L=1.452±0.014±0.007±0.002ps,

where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second due to the uncorrelated part of the systematic uncertainty and the third due to the correlated part of the systematic uncertainty.
