Abstract: (APS)
The possibility of a long B-meson lifetime is explored, in which case the weak mixing angles θ2 and θ3 are quite small. This allows the derivation of a lower bound on the top-quark mass as a function of the B-meson lifetime, by comparison of the short-distance prediction for the CP-nonconservation parameter ε with its experimental value. The bound is significant for τB>4×10−13 s.- WEAK INTERACTION: MIXING ANGLE
