We measure the branching fraction B(B- -> D*0 K*-) = 8.3 +/- 1.1 (stat)} +/- 1.0 (syst) x 10e-4, and the fraction of longitudinal polarization in this decay to be GammaL/Gamma = 0.86 +/- 0.06 +/- (stat) +/- 0.03 (syst).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-08-22T22:13:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "branching fraction", "measurement", "pep-ii asymmetric-energy b-factory", "bbbar decays", "babar detector" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
