Book Description
The authors measure the mean lifetime, [tau] = 2/([Lambda]{sub L} + [Lambda]{sub H}), and the decay-width difference, [Delta][Lambda] = [Lambda]{sub L} - [Lambda]{sub H}, of the light and heavy mass eigenstates of the B{sub s}° meson, B{sub sL}° and B{sub sH}°, in B{sub s}° → J/[psi][phi] decays using 1.7 fb−1 of data collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron p{bar p} collider. Assuming CP conservation, a good approximation for the B{sub s}° system in the standard model, they obtain [Delta][Lambda] = 0.076{sub -0.063}{sup +0.059}(stat.) ± 0.006(syst.) ps−1 and [tau] = 1.52 ± 0.04(stat.) ± 0.02(syst.) ps, the most precise measurements to date. The constraints on the weak phase and [Delta][Lambda] are consistent with CP conservation.

Book Description
The production cross sections of the B+, B0, and B0s mesons, and of their charge conjugates, are measured via exclusive hadronic decays in pPb collisions at the center-of-mass energy √sNN = 5.02 TeV with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. We used the dataset for this analysis and it corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 34.6 nb-1. The production cross sections are measured in the transverse momentum range between 10 and 60 GeV/c. No significant modification is observed compared to proton-proton perturbative QCD calculations scaled by the number of incoherent nucleon-nucleon collisions. Furthermore, these results provide a baseline for the study of in-medium b quark energy loss in PbPb collisions.

Book Description
Over the past decades the current theoretical description, the Standard Model of elementary particle physics, was solidified by many measurements as the basic theory describing fundamental particles and their interactions. It is extremely successful in explaining the high-precision data collected by experiments so far. The Standard Model includes several intrinsic parameters which have to be measured in experiments. Independent analyses of different physical processes can constrain those parameters. By combining those measurements physicists might be sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model. If they are inconsistent it allows to get a hint on the theory that might supersede the Standard Model. The goal of the analysis presented in this thesis is to measure some of these parameters in the B{sub s} meson system. The B{sub s} meson, consisting of an anti-b and s quark, is not a pure mass eigenstate, thus allowing a B{sub s} meson to oscillate into its antiparticle via weak interacting processes. This is a general feature of any neutral meson. The history of meson mixing measurements is more then 50 years old. It was first observed in the kaon system. The oscillation in the B{sub d} system was measured very precisely by the B factories, whereas the oscillation frequency of the B{sub s} was measured with more than 5[sigma] significance last year by CDF and first evidence for mixing in the D0 system was presented only this year.
