Abstract

Analysis of B decays recorded by the SLD experiment at the SLC e + e − collider is presented. The results are based on a sample of 150,000 hadronic Z 0 decays collected between 1993 and 1995 together with 250,000 hadronic Z 0 decays collected from 1996 to 1998 with an upgraded vertex detector. The large longitudinal polarization of the SLC e − beam (average « P e ∼ 73%) was utilised by some of the measurements. The precise CCD pixel vertex detector allows efficient and pure identification of the B decay tracks. Measurements of the B + and B 0 lifetimes, the B energy and a search for b → sg are presented. The B o s - ¯B o s mixing analyses and the excluded values of the oscillation frequency Δ m s will be discussed.
