Chapter
First Online:
Part of the Springer Tracts in Modern Physics book series (STMP, volume 249)

Abstract

The lifetimes and branching ratios of weakly decaying b hadrons are important parameters for two reasons. First, they serve as benchmarks for theoretical predictions.

Keywords

Decay Time Invariant Mass Systematic Uncertainty Decay Mode Invariant Mass Distribution 
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
