Abstract
Time-dependent B-d(0)-(B) over bar(d)(0) mixing is studied using 1.5 m illion hadronic Z decays collected by L3. Semileptonic B decays are se lected by requiring at least one reconstructed lepton in both thrust h emispheres. Charge correlations between the tagged leptons are studied as a function of proper time. The proper time of the b-hadron decay i s measured by reconstructing the production and decay vertices using a silicon microvertex detector: The measured B-d(0) meson oscillation f requency corresponds to a mass difference Delta m(d) between the two B -d(0) mass eigenstates of Delta m(d) = (0.496(-0.051)(+0.053) (stat) /- 0.043 (syst)) ps(-1).
