We present a simultaneous measurement of the B0bar lifetime tau(B0) and mixing parameter $Delta m_d$. We use a sample of about 50000 B0bar -> D*+ l- anti-nu(l) partially reconstructed decays identified with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II…
We measure the B0 lifetime tau_B0 and the B-Bbar oscillation frequency Deltam_d with a sample of approximately 14,000 exclusively reconstructed B0 -> D*- l+ nu_l signal events, selected from 23 million B-Bbar pairs recorded at the…
We combine all the available experimental information on Bs mixing, including the very recent tagged analyses of Bs to J/Psi phi by the CDF and D0 collaborations. We find that the phase of the Bs mixing amplitude deviates more than 3 sigma…
We report results from five analyses based on data taken with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric e+e- collider. Included are branching fraction measurements for many B-meson decays involving eta, eta', omega, phi or a0 mesons and…

The status of possible new-physics signals in B_s,d-meson mixing and decay is reviewed. In particular, it is emphasized that the recent LHCb results, that find no evidence for a non-standard phase in B_s-barB_s mixing, make a consistent…
