Two measurements of the lifetime of neutral and charged B mesons in p{bar p} collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV by the CDF experiment are presented. The first relies on the study of exclusive decays of the type B → [psi] K, the second on semileptonic decays of a B meson into a D° or a D. The combined results are [tau](B+) = 1.62 ± 0.09 ps, [tau](B0) = 1.60 ± 0.09 ps and [tau](B+)/[tau](B°) = 1.00 ± 0.07.

Lifetime measurements for B0 and B+ are presented using semileptonic decays of B mesons from 360 pb-1 of data collected by CDF's lepton plus displaced track trigger. The decays B 2!l[nu]DX, where D is either D +, D0, or D* +, are partially reconstructed from a muon or electron, a displaced track, and a fully reconstructed charm meson. The B 0 and B+ lifetimes are obtained from an unbinned maximum-likelihood fit to the proper decay length distributions. The measured lifetimes are [tau]B 0 = 1.527 ± 0.012(stat.) ± 0.023(syst.)ps and [tau]B + = 1.629 ± 0.013(stat.) ± 0.025(syst.)ps.

Measurements of the average b-hadron lifetime using inclusive B [yields] J/[psi]X events, the individual B[sub u] and B[sub d] lifetimes and their ratio using exclusive B [yields] [psi]K events, and the B[sub s] lifetime using semileptonic B[sub s] lifetime using semileptonic B[sub s] [yields] l[nu]D[sub 3]X events are presented. The results were obtained from a 21.3 pb[sup [minus]1] sample of [radical]s = 1.8 TeV [bar p]p collisions collected in 1992--93 at the Fermilab Tevatron collider and required the precise position measurements of the recently installed CDF silicon vertex detector.
