We report the current status of Delta-md measurements at B-factories. The most recent world average is Delta-md = 0.502+-0.007 1/ps (1.4% accuracy). An estimate of the errors for 500 1/fb data is also given.
We describe two measurements of Delta m_d. The first uses B -> nu l D(*) events and a same-side flavor tagging algorithm. The second uses dilepton events. From the average of these two measurements we find Delta m_d = 0.466 +- 0.037 +-…
We present the CDF results using 1.0 fb^{-1} of data on the mixing frequency measurement in the B_s system and the lifetime measurements of several B hadrons. We obtain \Delta m_s=17.77 +- 0.1 +- 0.07 ps^{-1} and c\tau(\Lambda_b)=473.8 +-…
We update the Standard-Model predictions for several quantities related to $B_s - \bar B_s$ and $B_d - \bar B_d$ mixing. The mass and width differences in the $B_s$ system read $ \Delta M_s^{\rm SM} = (17.3 \pm 2.6) ps^{-1}$ and $\Delta…

We discuss recent CLEO results on D0-D0bar and B0d-B0dbar mixing. The principal results are that for the D0 system, allowing for CP violations, the mixing amplitude x'<2.9% (95% C.L.), and for the B0d system, chi=0.198+-0.013+-0.014. We…
We present the first limit on Bs mixing frequency obtained using 360 pb^-1 of Tevatron Run II data with the CDF II detector. We derive Delta ms 7.9 ps^-1 @ 95 % C.L. with a sensitivity of 8.4 ps^-1. -

Measurement of the B_s oscillation frequency via B_s mixing analyses provides a powerful constraint on the CKM matrix elements. The study of B_d oscillations is an important step towards B_s mixing and a preliminary measurement of Delta m_d…
Recent developments for mixing and CP violation in the D0 and Bs systems are reviewed, including (i) the recently emerging evidence for D0-D0bar mixing and the interpretations of the measurements; (ii) the theoretical status of the…
$B_s - \bar B_s$ mixing has been measured recently by D0 and CDF. The range predicted in the standard model is consistent with data. However, the standard model central values for $\Delta M_{B_s}$ and also $\Delta M_ {B_d}$ are away from…
We review new studies of the time dependence of B0s - B0s-bar mixing by the ALEPH, DELPHI and SLD Collaborations, with an emphasis on the different analysis methods used. Combining all available results yields a preliminary lower limit on…
New physics contributions to B_s-\bar{B}_s mixing can be parametrized by the size (r_s^2) and the phase (2\theta_s) of the total mixing amplitude relative to the Standard Model amplitude. The phase has so far been unconstrained. We first…
B-B-bar mixing involves three physical parameters: the magnitudes of the off-diagonal elements of the mass and decay matrices and their relative phase. They are related to the mass and width differences between the mass eigenstates and to…
The $B^0_s$ and $B^0$ mixing frequencies, $\Delta m_s$ and $\Delta m_d$, are measured using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb^{-1} collected by the LHCb experiment in $pp$ collisions at a centre of mass…
Mixing in the D0 system may provide a sensitive probe for new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) but has so far eluded experimental observation. The SM predictions are typically small (< 10^{-3}) for the mixing parameters x, y which, in…
