Using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of ac" title="Click to view the MathML source">3 fb−1, collected by the LHCb experiment in pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, the effective lifetime in the decay mode, τeff, is measured to be

Assuming CP conservation, τeff corresponds to the lifetime of the light mass eigenstate. This is the first measurement of the effective lifetime in this decay mode.
