J/?(µ+µ-)?0(pp-) is presented. The analysis uses a signal sample of about 2200 ?0b and ? ¯0b decays that are reconstructed in 4.9 fb-1 of ATLAS pp collision data collected in 2011 at the LHC center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. A simultaneous mass and decay time maximum likelihood fit is used to extract the ?0b lifetime and mass. They are measured to be t?b = 1.449 ± 0.036(stat) ± 0.017(syst) ps and m?b = 5619.7 ± 0.7(stat) ± 1.1(syst) MeV.
