1. 1/7 Andrew Powell CP Working Group Meeting - Friday, 7 th September 2006 D*  D(4h)  DC06 Preselection

2. 2/7 Motivations Reasons for this D*  D(4h)  selection: B  D(4h)K : Amplitude and phase information from D decays for 4- Body Dalitz Fitting Important Background Category for B  D(4h)K HLT Calibration Methodology: Extract signal events from the inclusive B 0  (D*  D  )  tapes Run over bbar events to develop preselection cuts and use 2-Body preselections as a guide
