The analysis uses a signal sample of about 2200 Λb and Λ̄ 0 b decays that are reconstructed in 4.9 fb −1 of ATLAS pp collision data collected in 2011 at the LHC center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. A simultaneous mass and decay time maximum likelihood fit is used to extract the Λb lifetime and mass. They are measured to be τΛb = 1.449± 0.036(stat)± 0.017(syst) ps and mΛb = 5619.7± 0.7(stat)± 1.1(syst) MeV. ar X iv :1 20 7. 22 84 v3 [ he pex ] 2 0 A pr 2 01 3 Measurement of the Λ0b lifetime and mass in the ATLAS experiment The ATLAS Collaboration (Dated: May 2, 2014) A measurement of the Λb lifetime and mass in the decay channel Λ 0 b → J/ψ(μ+μ−)Λ0(pπ−) is presented.
