Abstract

We consider the effects of a non-vanishing strange-quark mass in the determination of the full basis of dimension six matrix elements for BsB_{s} mixing, in particular we get for the ratio of the VAV-A Bag parameter in the BsB_s and BdB_d system: BQ1s/BQ1d=0.9870.009+0.007\overline{B}^s_{Q_1} / \overline{B}^d_{Q_1} = 0.987^{+0.007}_{-0.009}. Combining these results with the most recent lattice values for the ratio of decay constants fBs/fBdf_{B_s} / f_{B_d} we obtain the most precise determination of the ratio ξ=fBsBQ1s/fBdBQ1d=1.20140.0072+0.0065\xi = f_{B_s} \sqrt{\overline{B}^s_{Q_1}}/ f_{B_d} \sqrt{\overline{B}^d_{Q_1}} = 1.2014^{+0.0065}_{-0.0072} in agreement with recent lattice determinations. We find ΔMs=(18.51.5+1.2)ps1\Delta M_s=(18.5_{-1.5}^{+1.2})\text{ps}^{-1} and ΔMd=(0.5470.046+0.035)ps1\Delta M_d=(0.547_{-0.046}^{+0.035})\text{ps}^{-1} to be consistent with experiments at below one sigma. Assuming the validity of the SM, our calculation can be used to directly determine the ratio of CKM elements Vtd/Vts=0.20450.0013+0.0012|V_{td} / V_{ts} | = 0.2045^{+0.0012}_{-0.0013}, which is compatible with the results from the CKM fitting groups, but again more precise.
