Abstract
Data collected with the OPAL detector during 1990-1994 are used to mea sure the time dependence of B-d(0) <----> <(B)over bar(d)(0)> mixing. A sample of 348 D-+/- candidates with a lepton in the opposite hemisp here are reconstructed, of which 167 +/- 25 are expected to be from B- d(0) decays. The B-d(0) oscillation frequency is measured to be Delta m(d) = 0.567 +/- 0.089(stat)(-0.023)(+0.029)(syst) ps(-1). A previousl y published analysis of Delta m(d) using D-+/- and lepton candidates in the same hemisphere and jet charge is also updated with a larger da ta sample. From 1200 D(+/-)l(-/+) candidates, of which 778 +/- 84 are expected to be from B-d(0) decays, we find a value of: Delta m(d) = 0 .539 +/- 0.060(stat) +/- 0.024(syst) ps(-1). The combined result of th ese two analyses is Delta m(d) = 0.548 +/- 0.050(stat)(-0.019)(+0.023) (syst) ps(-1).
