3.2 million hadronic Z(0) decays, a measurement of the <(B-d(0))over
bar> meson lifetime, based on the inclusive reconstruction of 3520 +/-
150 semileptonic decays of the type <(B-d(0))over bar> –> D*+ l
<(nu(l))over bar>,
has been performed, The result is:
tau(B-d(0)) = 1.532 +/- 0.041(stat.) +/- 0.040(syst.)ps. The
contribution to the systematic uncertainty which depends on external
errors is +/-0.015."
