Description

The decay of Bs->J/Psi Phi is parameterised by 8 variables, which we obtain from data using a maximum likelihood fit. The effect of systematic errors, particularly from detector resolution and misalignment, will significantly impact the accuracy of this fit. I investigate using lifetime measurements to estimate these errors.
