- Measurement of the $\Lambda_{b}^0$ lifetime in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeVPublication . CMS collaboration (2199 authors); Hollar, Jonathan; Nayak, Aruna; Calpas, Betty; Almeida, Nuno; Bargassa, Pedrame; David Tinoco Mendes, Andre; Faccioli, Pietro; Ferreira Parracho, Pedro Guilherme; Gallinaro, Michele; Rodrigues Antunes, Joao; Seixas, Joao; Varela, Joao; Vischia, Pietro; Lloret Iglesias, Lara; Musella, Pasquale; Silva, Pedro; Pela, Joao; Leonardo, NunoA measurement of the $\Lambda_b^{0}$ lifetime using the decay $\Lambda_b^{0} \to J/\psi \Lambda$ in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=7 TeV is presented. The data set, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 5 inverse femtobarns, was recorded with the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider using triggers that selected dimuon events in the J/$\psi$ mass region. The $\Lambda_b^{0}$ lifetime is measured to be 1.503 +/- 0.052 (stat.) +/- 0.031 (syst.) ps.
