Brau, Benjamin

The e{sup +}e{sup -} annihilation data recorded with the BABAR detector has been used to study B decays to D{sub s}{sup (*){+-}} and D*{sup +-} mesons. The production fraction of inclusive D{sub s}{sup (*){+-}} and the corresponding momentum spectra have been determined. Exclusive decays B{sup 0} {yields} D*{sup -} D{sub s}{sup (*)+} have been identified with a partial reconstruction technique and their branching fractions have been measured. We also report branching fraction measurements for the exclusive hadronic modes B{sup 0} {yields} D*{sup -} {pi}{sup +} and B{sup 0} {yields} D*{sup -} {rho}{sup +}.
