First observation of B 0 D* 0 + + - -decays

We report on the observation of B 0D* 0 + + - -decays. The branching ratio is (0.300.07 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 B 0D* + + - - 0 decays. 2001 The American Physical Society.
