摘要：

The average b hadron Lifetime, tau(b) has been measured using approximately 3.5 million hadronic events collected with the OPAL detector at LEP between 1991 and 1994. A Lifetime tag based on a neural network algorithm was used to select Z(0) --> b (b) over bar events. A secondary vertex reconstructed on the opposite side from the b-tag was used to measure the b hadron decay length. This was combined with an estimate of the b hadron momentum, allowing the b hadron decay time to be evaluated. The lifetime, tau(b) = 1.611 +/- 0.010 (stat) +/- 0.027 (syst) ps, was extracted from a fit involving the distribution of the 95620 decay times reconstructed in the data and the corresponding distribution in Monte Carlo.
