#### ${{\boldsymbol \Xi}_{{b}}^{-}}$ MEAN LIFE

OUR EVALUATION'' is an average using rescaled values of the data listed below. The average and rescaling were performed by the Heavy Flavor Averaging Group (HFLAV) and are described at https://hflav.web.cern.ch/. The averaging/rescaling procedure takes into account correlations between the measurements and asymmetric lifetime errors.
