Abstract: (arXiv)
From an analysis of the flavor-tagged decay \bsdec we obtain the width difference between the Bs0B_s^0 light and heavy mass eigenstates, ΔΓsΓLΓH=0.19±0.07(stat)0.01+0.02(syst)\Delta \Gamma_s \equiv \Gamma_L - \Gamma_H = 0.19 \pm 0.07 {\rm (stat)}\thinspace ^{+0.02}_{-0.01} {\rm (syst)} ps1^{-1}, and the CP-violating phase, ϕs=0.570.30+0.24(stat)0.02+0.07(syst)\phi_{s} =-0.57 ^{+0.24}_{-0.30} {\rm (stat)}\thinspace ^{+0.07}_{-0.02} {\rm (syst)}. The allowed 90% C.L. intervals of ΔΓs\Delta \Gamma_s and ϕs\phi_s are 0.06<ΔΓs<0.300.06 <\Delta \Gamma_s <0.30 ps1^{-1} and 1.20<ϕs<0.06-1.20 <\phi_s < 0.06, respectively. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2.8 fb1^{-1} accumulated with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider.
