The first measurement of the effective lifetime of theB 0 s meson in the decayB 0 s → D − s D + s is reported using a proton-proton collision dataset, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb −1 , collected by the LHCb experiment. The measured value of theB 0 s → D − s D + s effective lifetime is 1.379 ± 0.026 ± 0.017 ps, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. This lifetime translates into a measurement of the decay width of the lightB 0 s mass eigenstate
