Abstract

Description

We discuss neutral B_{s,d} meson mixing and b-hadron lifetimes from the perspective of recent lattice calculations. In particular, we consider matrix elements which can be combined with measured ΔM_{s,d} to constrain |V_{td}|, the lifetime ratios τ(Λ_b)/τ(B_d) and τ(B^-)/τ(B_d) and the lifetime difference, ΔΓ_s/Γ_s, in the neutral B_s meson system.
