Abstract
We present a measurement of the average b-hadron lifetime Tb at the e+e- collider LEP. Using hadronic Z decays collected in the period from 1991 to 1994, two independent analyses have been performed. In the first one, the b-decay position is reconstructed as a secondary vertex of hadronic b-decay particles. The second analysis is an updated measurement of Tb using the impact parameter of leptons with high momentum and high transverse momentum. The combined result is Tb=[1549± 9 (stat) ± 15 (syst)] fs . In addition, we measure the average charged b-decay multiplicity < nb > and the normalized average b-energy <xE>b at LEP to be <nb>=4.90±0.04 (stat)±0.11 (syst), <xE>b=0.709±0.004 (stat+syst).
