Using a sample of 9.7 times 10^{6} B-Bbar pairs collected with the CLEO detector operating at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we measure the branching fractions B(B^0 \\to D^{*-} proton antiproton \\pi^+) = ({6.5}^{+1.3}_{-1.2} +- 1.0) \\times 10^{-4} and B(B^0 \\to D^{*-} proton antineutron) = ({14.5}^{+3.4}_{-3.0} +- 2.7) times 10^{-4}. Antineutrons are identified by their annihilation in the CsI electromagnetic calorimeter.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-09-05T20:01:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "first observation", "csi electromagnetic calorimeter", "b-bbar pairs", "cleo detector", "cornell electron storage ring" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
