Title: Observation of the decays B- to Ds(*)+ K- pi-

Conference ·
OSTI ID:891242

The authors report first observations of the decays B{sup -} {yields} D{sub s}{sup (*)+} K{sup -}{pi}{sup -}, using 292 fb{sup -1} of data collected at the {Upsilon}(4S) resonance energy by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e{sup +}e{sup -} collider. The branching fractions are measured to be {Beta}(B{sup -} {yields} D{sub s}{sup +}K{sup -}{pi}{sup -}) = (1.88 {+-} 0.13 {+-} 0.41) {center_dot} 10{sup -4} and {Beta}(B{sup -} {yields} D{sub s}{sup *+}K{sup -}{pi}{sup -}) = (1.84 {+-} 0.19 {+-} 0.40) {center_dot} 10{sup -4}.
