Abstract

Recent measurements of lifetimes of some bb-flavored hadrons are presented and interpreted in the context of theoretical models, especially the Heavy Quark Expansion. Decay widths and decay width differences in the Bs0Bs0B_s^0-\overline{B}_s^0 system are discussed from studies of decays into the final states J/ψK+KJ/\psi K^+K^-, J/ψπ+πJ/\psi \pi^+\pi^-, Ds+DsD_s^+D_s^-, K+KK^+K^-, and Ds±πD_s^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}. Lifetime measurements of the baryons Λb0\Lambda_b^0, Ξb\Xi_b^-, Ξb0\Xi_b^0, and Ωb\Omega_b^- are also shown.
