The Standard Model predicts a large width difference in the $B_s$ system. New physics can contribute significantly to the {\it mass} difference. If this contribution is CP violating, this will always result in a reduction of the {\it width}…
The strange $B$ meson $B_s \equiv \bar b s$ and its charge-conjugate $\bar B_s \equiv b \bar s$ are expected to mix with one another in such a way that the mass eigenstates $B_s^H$ (``heavy'') and $B_s^L$ (``light'') may have a perceptible…
