Measurement of the B- lifetime using a simulation free approach for trigger bias correction
Based on work with my student Malde. My tasks in the analysis ranged from writing software for reconstructing final particles, actual data analysis, and writing parametric simulations to evaluate systematics, to developing models for the mass spectra of reconstructed final state B^- particles. My most significant contribution was resolving the issue of correlations between the decaying Bmesons acceptance function & the resolution. I worked with Malde on virtually every issue & helped write the publication. I was closely involved with internal CDF review & resulting reviewer correspondence, physics group convenors, answering questions and technical aspects including writing requisite software.
