Abstract

The decays Υ(4S)→BB, followed by B→D*π and D*→Dπ, permit reconstruction of all kinematic quantities that describe the sequence without reconstruction of the D, with reasonably low backgrounds. Using an integrated e⁺e⁻ luminosity of 3.1fb⁻¹ accumulated at the Υ(4S) by the CLEO-II detector, we report measurements of B(B⁰→D*⁺π⁻)=(2.81±0.11±0.21±0.05)×10⁻³ and B(B⁻→D*0π⁻)=(4.34±0.33±0.34±0.18) ×10⁻³.

N2 - The decays Υ(4S)→BB, followed by B→D*π and D*→Dπ, permit reconstruction of all kinematic quantities that describe the sequence without reconstruction of the D, with reasonably low backgrounds. Using an integrated e+e− luminosity of 3.1fb−1 accumulated at the Υ(4S) by the CLEO-II detector, we report measurements of B(B0→D*+π−)=(2.81±0.11±0.21±0.05)×10−3 and B(B−→D*0π−)=(4.34±0.33±0.34±0.18) ×10−3.
