Measurement of the B 0 s → J /ψη lifetime .The LHCb Collaboration a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Editor: M. Doser This paper is dedicated to the memory of our friend and colleague Ailsa Sparkes Using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb −1 , collected by the LHCb experiment in pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, the effective lifetime in the B 0 s → J /ψη decay mode, τ eff , is measured to be τ eff = 1.479 ± 0.034 (stat) ± 0.011 (syst) ps.
