  2. Data Sample: On the (4S) resonance 40 MeV below BB threshold (off resonance) Measurements and data samples : 7.7 fb-1 on resonance (~ 8,700,000 BB) : 1.2 fb-1 off resonance Study of inclusive Ds(*) production in B decays. Measurement of B0Ds(*)+D*- branching fraction with a partial reconstruction technique. Measurement of the branching fractions for the decays B0D*+p-andB0D*+r- : 5.2 fb-1 (~5,900,000 BB) Ben Brau DPF 2000

  3.
