Abstract

We present a measurement of the mass difference

Δ m_{d}

of the two

B_{d}^{0}

mass eigenstates. We use a flavor tagging method based on the lepton charge, in a sample of events with two muons at low transverse momentum. The sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of

90 {pb}^{- 1}

collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The result obtained is

Δ m_{d} = 0.503 \pm 0.064 (stat) \pm 0.071 (syst) {ps}^{- 1} .
