Abstract

We have fully reconstructed decays of both B${\mathrm{\ifmmode\bar\else\textasciimacron\fi{}}}^{0}$ and ${\mathit{B}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$ mesons into final states containing either D, ${\mathit{D}}^{\mathrm{*}}$, ${\mathit{D}}^{\mathrm{*}\mathrm{*}}$, \ensuremath{\psi}, \ensuremath{\psi}', or ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\chi}}}_{\mathit{c}1}$ mesons. This allows us to obtain new results on many physics topics including branching ratios, tests of the factorization hypothesis, color suppression, resonant substructure, and the ${\mathit{B}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$B${\mathrm{\ifmmode\bar\else\textasciimacron\fi{}}}^{0}$ mass difference.
