Abstract: (Elsevier)
The B 0 − B 0 mixing was studied by using about 250 000 hadronic decays of the Z 0 , collected with the DELPHI detector at LEP. With 1665 dilepton events, the probability for a b quark to become a b before decaying was found to be χ = 0.121 −0.040 +0.044 ± 0.017. The semileptonic branching ratio of the b was measured from the dilepton and single lepton events and found to be Br(b → l ) = (10.0 ± 0.7 ± 0.7)%.
