Abstract

Using a sample of 484 000 B mesons collected with the CLEO detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have measured B(B\ifmmode\bar\else\textasciimacron\fi{} $^{0}\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{*}+}$${\mathrm{l}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$\ensuremath{\nu}) and found that the polarization of the ${D}^{\mathrm{*}+}$ is small. These results are compared with models of semileptonic B decay.
