The value of ∆Γd/Γd is obtained by comparing the decay-time distributions of B 0 → J/ψKS and B 0 → J/ψK ∗0 (892) decays. The result is ∆Γd/Γd = (−0.1±1.1 (stat.)±0.9 (syst.))×10−2. Currently, this is the most precise single measurement of ∆Γd/Γd. It agrees with the Standard Model prediction and the measurements by other experiments.
