Received 16 September 1997; revised 4 December 1997; published in the issue dated 9 March 1998
We present a measurement of the B0↔B̅ 0 oscillation frequency using a flavor tagging method based on correlations of B meson flavor with the charge of other particles produced in pp̅ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV. Such correlations are expected to arise from b quark hadronization and from B** decays. We partially reconstruct B mesons using the semileptonic decays B0→l+D(*)-X and B+→l+D̅ 0X. From the oscillation frequency, we obtain the mass difference between the two B0 mass eigenstates, Δmd = 0.471-0.068+0.078(stat)±0.034(syst)ħ ps-1, and measure the efficiency and purity of this flavor tagging method for both charged and neutral B mesons.
