The D0 experiment at Fermilab has determined the B{sup 0} {minus} B{sup 0} mixing probability x using dimuon events produced in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV. Using a sample of 172 dimuon events, we have determined the time and flavor averaged mixing probability x to be 0.09 {plus_minus} 0.04(stat){plus_minus}0.03(sys) [preliminary] in agreement with the present world average
