* B oscillations The oscillations can be smeared: + convoluted with the [[id:9dfdc23e-f9ce-413b-b950-fc20fd152e42][acceptance function]] + further enhanced by detector resolution effects (e.g. time resn). * Acceptance :PROPERTIES: :ID: 9dfdc23e-f9ce-413b-b950-fc20fd152e42 :END: In LHCb acceptance is a function of (proper?) time (B decay time / B decay length / PV-SV distance). Combined effect of, + non-uniform geometrical acceptance (as LHCb is not hermetic) + and triggering on a min. time interval (or displacement) from IP/PV. Ensures a long lived B.
