Title: Search for Time Dependent Bs Oscillations at SLD

Abstract:

The results of a search for Bs0 - \bar Bs0 
oscillations at SLD will be presented.  The talk will 
focus on the experimental techniques and challenges 
involved in observing the expected rapid oscillations 
of the Bs0 meson.  The superb vertexing capability 
of the CCD based pixel vertex detector and the highly 
polarized electron beam are exploited at SLD to yield a 
sensitivity to Bs oscillations comparable to the combined 
LEP results.  A summary of the current world average and 
the significance will also be discussed.
