Abstract

We present an improved measurement of b-meson lifetimes using fully reconstructed B-decays produced in pp̅ collisions at √s =1.8 TeV, using 114 pb-1 of data collected at the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We obtain τ (B+)=1.636±0.058(stat) ±0.025(syst) ps, τ (B0)=1.497±0.073(stat) ±0.032(syst) ps and for the lifetime ratio τ (B+)/(B0)=1.093±0.066(stat) ±0.028(syst).
