PY - 2016 DA - 2016// TI - Measurement of the B-0 -> D*(-)pi(+)pi(-)pi(+) branching fraction T2 - Phys. Rev. D JO - Physical Review D SP - 091101 EP - 7pp VL - 94 IS - 9 PB - Amer Physical Soc AB - Using a sample of (470.9 +/- 2.8) x 10(6) B (B) over bar pairs, we measure the decay branching fraction B(B-0 -> D*(-)pi(+)pi(-)pi(-)) = (7.26 +/- 0.11 +/- 0.31) x 10(-3), where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. Our measurement will be helpful in studies of lepton universality by measuring B(B-0 -> D*(-)tau(+)nu(tau)) using tau(+) -> pi(+)pi(-)pi(+)(nu) over bar (tau) decays, normalized to B(B-0 -> D*(-)pi(+)pi(-)pi(-)).
