要旨:
We present a measurement of the ratio of the Bs meson lifetime, in the
flavor-specific decay to $D_s^+\pi^-$, to that of the B0 meson. The pp
collision data used correspond to an integrated luminosity of 1/fb, collected
with the LHCb detector, at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. Combining our
measured value of 1.010 +/- 0.010 +/- 0.008 for this ratio with the known
lifetime, we determine the flavor-specific Bs lifetime to be tau(Bs) = 1.535
+/- 0.015 +/- 0.014 ps, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic,
respectively. This is the most precise measurement to date, and is consistent
with previous measurements and theoretical predictions.
