abstract
Final results from the DELPHI Collaboration on the lifetime of B+ and B0 mesons and the mean b-hadron lifetime, are presented using the data collected at the Z0 peak in 1994 and 1995. Elaborate, inclusive, secondary vertexing methods have been employed to ensure a b-hadron reconstruction with good efficiency. To separate samples of B+ and B0 mesons, high performance neural network techniques are used that achieve very high purity signals. The results obtained are: tau_B+ = 1.624 +/- 0.014 (stat) +/- 0.018 (syst) ps tau_B0 = 1.531 +/- 0.021 (stat) +/- 0.031 (syst) ps tau_B+/tau_B0 = 1.060 +/- 0.021 (stat) +/- 0.024 (syst) and for the average b-hadron lifetime: tau_b = 1.570 +/- 0.005 (stat) +/- 0.008 (syst) ps.
