Measurement of the Lifetime of the B-c(+/-) Meson in the Semileptonic Decay Channel

Using approximately 1.3fb-1 of data collected by the D0 detector between 2002 and 2006, we measure the lifetime of the Bc± meson in the Bc±→J/ψμ±+X final state. A simultaneous unbinned likelihood fit to the J/ψ+μ invariant mass and lifetime distributions yields a signal of 881±80(stat) candidates an...
