The lifetime of the B0s meson is measured in the decay channel B0s→J/ψπ+π− with 880≤Mπ+π−≤1080 MeV/c2, which is mainly a CP-odd state and dominated by the f0(980) resonance. In 10.4 fb−1 of data collected with the D0 detector in Run II of the Tevatron, the lifetime of the B0s meson is measured to be τ(B0s)=1.70±0.14(stat)±0.05(syst) ps. Neglecting CP violation in B0s/¯B0s mixing, the measurement can be translated into the width of the heavy mass eigenstate of the B0s, ΓH=0.59±0.05(stat)±0.02(syst) ps−1.
