Study of the Decays B- → D*+π-π-

Creators

Description

We report on analyses of B- mesons decaying into D*+π-π- and D+π-π- final states using 89 million B- decays collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory. Preliminary measurements are given for the inclusive branching fractions for B- → D*+π-π- and B- → D*+π-π-, and for the exclusive branching fractions for B- → D1(2420)0π- and B- → D*2(2460)0π-, where D1(2420)0 and D*2(2460)0 are the two narrow c(bar u) P-wave states. The ratio Β(B- → D*2(2460)0π-)/Β(B- → D1(2420)0π-) is measured to be 0.80 ± 0.07 ± 0.16
