Description

We have observed a signal for the decay D*+→D+γ at a significance of 4standard deviations. From the measured branching ratio B(D*+→D+γ) /B(D*+→D+π0)=0.055±0.014±0.010 we find B(D*+→D+γ) =0.017±0.004±0.003, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. We also report the highest precision determination of the remaining D*+ branching fractions. copyright 1998 The American Physical Society
