Abstract : This paper reports the first ATLAS measurement of the $$ {B}_s^0 $$ B s 0 → μμ effective lifetime. The measurement is based on the data collected in 2015–2016, amounting to 26.3 fb−1 of 13 TeV LHC proton-proton collisions. The proper decay-time distribution of 58 ± 13 background-subtracted signal candidates is fit with simulated signal templates parameterised as a function of the $$ {B}_s^0 $$ B s 0 effective lifetime, with statistical uncertainties extracted through a Neyman construction. The resulting effective measurement of the $$ {B}_s^0 $$ B s 0 → μμ lifetime is $$ {0.99}_{-0.07}^{+0.42} $$ 0.99 − 0.07 + 0.42 (stat.) ± 0.17 (syst.) ps and it is found to be consistent with the Standard Model.
