First Observation of barB0 to D*0 pi+pi+pi-pi- Decays
arXiv:hep-ex/0105071 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.65.012002
Abstract
We report on the observation of B0bar -> D*0 pi+ pi+ pi- pi- decays. The branching ratio is (0.30 +/- 0.07 +/- 0.06)%. Interest in this particular mode was sparked by Ligeti, Luke and Wise who propose it as a way to check the validity of factorization tests in B0bar -> D*+ pi+ pi- pi- pi0 decays.
