¹	Measured using time-dependent angular analysis of ${{\mathit B}_{{{s}}}^{0}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit J / \psi}}{{\mathit K}^{+}}{{\mathit K}^{-}}$ decays.

²

Measured using $\mathit CP$ eigenstates ${{\mathit B}_{{{s}}}^{0}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit J / \psi}}{{\mathit \eta}^{\,'}}$ and ${{\mathit B}_{{{s}}}^{0}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit J / \psi}}{{\mathit \pi}^{+}}{{\mathit \pi}^{-}}$ (selected to be predominantly $\mathit CP$-odd). Negligible $\mathit CP$ violation and ${\Gamma}_{{\mathit B}_{{{s}}}^{0}}$ = $0.6628$ $\pm0.0035$ ps${}^{-1}$ are assumed.

³	Measured using the time-dependent angular analysis of ${{\mathit B}_{{{s}}}^{0}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit J / \psi}}{{\mathit \phi}}$ decays.

⁴	Reports a combination of $0.0657$ $\pm0.0043$ $\pm0.0037$ ps${}^{-1}$ with AAD 2016AP

⁵	Measured using a time-dependent angular analysis of ${{\mathit B}_{{{s}}}^{0}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit J / \psi}}{{\mathit \phi}}$ decays with ${{\mathit J / \psi}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit e}^{+}}{{\mathit e}^{-}}$.

⁶	Reports a combination of $0.1032$ $\pm0.0095$ $\pm0.0048$ ps${}^{-1}$ with KHACHATRYAN 2016S.

⁷	Measured using time-dependent angular analysis of ${{\mathit B}_{{{s}}}^{0}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit J / \psi}}{{\mathit K}^{+}}{{\mathit K}^{-}}$ in the region m(${{\mathit K}}{{\mathit K}}$) $>$ 1.05 GeV.

⁸	Reports a combination pf $0.066$ ${}^{+0.041}_{-0.044}$ $\pm0.007$ ps${}^{-1}$ with AAD 2014U.

⁹	Measured using time-dependent angular analysis of ${{\mathit B}_{{{s}}}^{0}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \psi}{(2S)}}{{\mathit \phi}}$ decays.

¹⁰	The error includes both statistical and systematic uncertainties.

¹¹

AAIJ 2013AR result comes from a combined fit to ${{\mathit B}_{{{s}}}^{0}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit J / \psi}}{{\mathit K}^{+}}{{\mathit K}^{-}}$ and ${{\mathit B}_{{{s}}}^{0}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit J / \psi}}{{\mathit \pi}^{+}}{{\mathit \pi}^{-}}$ data sets. Also reports $\Delta \Gamma _{s}$ = $0.100$ $\pm0.016$ $\pm0.003$ ps${}^{-1}$ from a fit to ${{\mathit B}_{{{s}}}^{0}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit J / \psi}}{{\mathit K}^{+}}{{\mathit K}^{-}}$ decays.

¹²	Uses the time-dependent angular analysis of ${{\mathit B}_{{{s}}}^{0}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit J / \psi}}{{\mathit \phi}}$ decays and assuming $\mathit CP$-violating angle ${{\mathit \beta}_{{{s}}}}({{\mathit B}^{0}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit J / \psi}}{{\mathit \phi}}$) = 0.02.

¹³	Measured the angular and lifetime parameters for the time-dependent angular untagged decays ${{\mathit B}_{{{d}}}^{0}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit J / \psi}}{{\mathit K}^{*0}}$ and ${{\mathit B}_{{{s}}}^{0}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit J / \psi}}{{\mathit \phi}}$.

¹⁴	Measured using the time-dependent angular analysis of ${{\mathit B}_{{{s}}}^{0}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit J / \psi}}{{\mathit \phi}}$ decays and assuming $\mathit CP$-violating phase $\phi _{s}$ = 0.

¹⁵	Obtaines 90$\%$ CL interval $-0.06$ $<\Delta \Gamma _{s}<$ 0.30.

¹⁶	ABAZOV 2007 reports $0.17$ $\pm0.09$ $\pm0.02$ with $\mathit CP$-violating phase $\phi _{s}$ as a free parameter.

¹⁷	Combines ${{\mathit D}^{0}}$ measurements of time-dependent angular distributions in ${{\mathit B}_{{{s}}}^{0}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit J / \psi}}{{\mathit \phi}}$ and charge asymmetry in semileptonic decays. There is a 4-fold ambiguity in the solution.
