Abstract

This report summarises recent advances made in the calculation of the NNLO QCD corrections to the width difference ΔΓs\Delta\Gamma_s in the BsBsB_s-\overline{B}_s system. The inclusion of the effects due to current-current operators leads to an updated prediction of ΔΓs=(0.076±0.017)ps1\Delta\Gamma_s = (0.076\pm 0.017)\,\text{ps}^{-1}, which narrows the gap between theory and experiment.
