Abstract

The first measurement of the effective lifetime of the anti-B0s meson in the decay anti-B0s → Ds− Ds+ is reported using a proton-proton collision data set, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb^−1, collected by the LHCb experiment. The measured value of the anti-B0s → Ds− Ds+ effective lifetime is 1.379 ± 0.026 ± 0.017 ps, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. This lifetime translates into a measurement of the decay width of the light anti-B0s mass eigenstate of Γ_L = 0.725 ± 0.014 ± 0.009 ps^−1. The anti-B0s lifetime is also measured using the flavor-specific anti-B0s → D− Ds+ decay to be 1.52 ± 0.15 ± 0.01 ps.
