Measurement of the Λb lifetime in the exclusive decay Λb→J/ψΛ

We have measured the Λb lifetime using the exclusive decay Λb→J/ψΛ, based on 1.2fb-1 of data collected with the D0 detector during 2002-2006. From 171 reconstructed Λb decays, where the J/ψ and Λ are identified via the decays J/ψ→μ+μ- and Λ→pπ, we measured the Λb lifetime to be τ(Λb)=1.218-0.115+0.1...
