We determine hadronic matrix elements relevant for the mass and width differences, ΔMs & ΔΓs in the Bs0−Bs0ˉ meson system using fully unquenched lattice QCD. We employ the MILC collaboration gauge configurations that include u, d and s sea quarks using the improved staggered quark (AsqTad) action and a highly improved gluon action. We implement the valence s quark also with the AsqTad action and use Nonrelativistic QCD for the valence b quark. For the nonperturbative QCD input into the Standard Model expression for ΔMs we find fBsB^Bs=0.281(21)GeV. Results for four-fermion operator matrix elements entering Standard Model formulas for ΔΓs are also presented.
