Abstract

This paper reports the first ATLAS measurement of the B_s⁰→ μμ effective lifetime. The measurement is based on the data collected in 2015–2016, amounting to 26.3 fb⁻¹ of 13 TeV LHC proton-proton collisions. The proper decay-time distribution of 58 ± 13 background-subtracted signal candidates is fit with simulated signal templates parameterised as a function of the B_s⁰ effective lifetime, with statistical uncertainties extracted through a Neyman construction. The resulting effective measurement of the B_s⁰→ μμ lifetime is 0.99_−0.07^+0.42 (stat.) ± 0.17 (syst.) ps and it is found to be consistent with the Standard Model.
