We report a measurement of the Lambda b0 lifetime in the exclusive decay Lambda b0-->J/psi Lambda 0 in pp collisions at square root s=1.96 TeV using an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb-1 of data collected by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. Using fully reconstructed decays, we measure tau(Lambda b0)=1.593(-0.078)(+0.083)(stat)+/-0.033(syst) ps. This is the single most precise measurement of tau(Lambda b0) and is 3.2sigma higher than the current world average.Measurement of the Λb0 Lifetime in Λb0→J/ψΛ0 in pp¯ Collisions at s=1.96 TeV

We report a measurement of the Λb0 lifetime in the exclusive decay Λb0→J/ψΛ0 in pp̄ collisions at s=1.96TeV using an integrated luminosity of 1.0fb-1 of data collected by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. Using fully reconstructed decays, we measure τ(Λb0)=1.593-0.078+0.083(stat)±0.033(syst)ps. This is the single most precise measurement of τ(Λb0) and is 3.2σ higher than the current world average. © 2007 The American Physical Society.Measurement of σΛb0/ σB̄0×B(Λb0→Λc+π-)/B(B̄0→D+π- ) in pp̄ Collisions at s=1.96TeV
