Abstract
From data collected around the Z resonance by the OPAL detector at LEP, a sample of Bs0 decays was obtained using combinations, where the Ds- was fully reconstructed in the , K*0K- and K0SK- decay channels or partially reconstructed in the decay channel. These events were used to study Bs0 oscillation. The flavor (b or ) at decay was determined from the lepton charge while the flavor at production was determined from a combination of techniques. The expected sensitivity of the experiment is 4.1ps-1. The experiment was not able to resolve the oscillatory behavior, and we deduced that the Bs0 oscillation frequency ps-1 at the 95% confidence level.
