Abstract

The B _s ⁰-B ^- _s ⁰ oscillation frequency δm _s is measured with 36 pb ^-1 of data collected in pp collisions at s=7TeV by the LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. A total of 1381 B _s ⁰→D _s ^-π+ and B _s ⁰→D _s ^-π ⁺π ^-π ⁺ signal decays are reconstructed, with average decay time resolutions of 44 fs and 36 fs, respectively. An oscillation signal with a statistical significance of 4.6σ is observed. The measured oscillation frequency is δm _s=17.63±0.11(stat)±0.02(syst)ps ^-1.
