Abstract
From data recorded by DELPHI between 1991 and 1994, which corresponds to 3.2 million hadronic Z0 decays, a measurement of the B0 d meson lifetime, based on the inclusive reconstruction of 3520 150 semileptonic decays of the type B0 d ! D+ X ` `; has been performed. The result is: ( B0 d) = 1:532 0:041(stat:) 0:040(syst:)ps. The contribution to the systematic uncertainty which depends on external errors is 0:015.
