The D0 is detected through its decays to K- pi+, K- pi+ pi0 and K- pi+ pi- pi+, and the K*- through its decay to K0S pi-. We measure the branching fraction to be B.F.(B- --> D0 K*-)= (6.3 +/- 0.7(stat.) +/- 0.5(syst.)) x 10^{-4}.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-12-18T14:53:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "13.25.Hw", "14.40.Nd" ], "keywords": [ "branching fraction", "measurement", "million bbbar pairs", "babar detector", "collisions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
