| Abstract | : |
We study the oscillations and the decay of neutral B-mesons using the "Open Quantum Systems" framework. It was shown by Caban et al in 2007, that the studying of a decaying particles in this framework is no different from studying them in quantum mechanics but for two particle systems which oscillate and decay, the formalism necessarily introduces a new parameter, which can be interpreted as "quantum decoherence". We work out the phenomenological consequences of this decoherence parameter for the neutral B-meson systems and propose the methods by which this parameter can be measured in Bd and Bs mesons systems. |
