Abstract

Measurements of the BuB_u, BdB_d, and BsB_s meson lifetime using semileptonic BueνD0X,BdeνDX,BslνDsXB_u \rightarrow e \nu D^0 X, B_d \rightarrow e \nu D^* X, B_s \rightarrow l \nu D_s X events and exclusive Buψ()K(),Bdψ()K(s)(),BsψϕB_u \rightarrow \psi^{(\prime)} K^{(*)}, B_d \rightarrow \psi^{(\prime)} K^{(*)}_{(s)}, B_s \rightarrow \psi \phi events are presented. These results used the precise position measurements of the CDF SVX silicon vertex detector and were obtained from a 19.3 pb1^{-1} sample of 1.8 TeV pp\overline{p}p collisions collected in 1992-93 at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. Comparisons with previous measurements will be shown.
