A measurement of the $π¬^0_b$ lifetime and mass in the decay channel $π¬^0_πβπ½/πβ‘(π^+β’π^β)β’π¬^0β‘(πβ’π^β)$ is presented. The analysis uses a signal sample of about 2200 $π¬^0_π$ and $\overline{π¬}^0_π$ decays that are reconstructed in $4.9ββfb^{β1} of ATLAS$ $πβ’π$ collision data collected in 2011 at the LHC center-of-mass energy of 7Β TeV. A simultaneous mass and decay time maximum likelihood fit is used to extract the $π¬^0_π$ lifetime and mass. They are measured to be $π_{π¬π}=1.449Β±0.036β’(stat)Β±0.017β’(syst)ββps$ and $π_{π¬π}=5619.7Β±0.7β’(stat)Β±1.1β’(syst)ββMeV$.
