Comparison of new ATLAS results for B0 lifetime with previous ATLAS results and results from the LHCb, CMS, D0, CDF, Belle II, BaBar, and Belle experiments. Credit: ATLAS/CERN Collaboration with ATLAS at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) yields new high-precision measurements of the lifetime of electrically neutral beautiful (B0) mesons (hadrons consisting of a bottom antiquark and a down quark).…
