Abstract: (SISSA)
We report on the updated theoretical predictions for the width difference ΔΓs\Delta \Gamma_s and the flavor-specific CP asymmetry afssa^s_{\textrm{fs}} in the BsBˉsB_s - \bar{B}_s mixing. Working at leading power in the Heavy Quark Expansion we evaluated all previously unknown two-loop contributions to this observable, which marks an important step in the task of reducing uncomfortably large scale uncertainties stemming from uncalculated QCD corrections. Our new the Standard-Model prediction for the ratio of the width and mass differences in the MS\overline{\textrm{MS}} scheme reads ΔΓs/ΔMs=(5.20±0.69)103\Delta \Gamma_s/\Delta M_s= (5.20\pm 0.69)\cdot 10^{-3}.
