Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have studied semileptonic B meson decays with a P-wave charm meson in the final state using 3.29 x 10[sup 6] B[bar B] events collected by the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron-positron Storage Ring. We find a value for the exclusive semileptonic product branching fraction:[Beta](B[sup -][yields] D[sub 1][sup 0][ell][sup -][bar[nu]][sub[ell]])[Beta](D[sub 1][sup 0][yields] D*[sup+][pi][sup -])= (0.373[+-] 0.085[+-] 0.052[+-] 0.024)% and an upper limit for[Beta](B[sup -][yields] D*[sub 2][sup 0][ell][sup -][bar[nu]][sub[ell]])[Beta](D*[sub 2][sup 0][yields] D*[sup+][pi][sup -])
