dc.descriptionBranching ratios and polarization amplitudes for B decaying to all allowed pseudoscalar, vector, axial-vector, scalar and tensor combinations of D_s and D mesons are calculated in the Isgur Scora Grinstein Wise (ISGW) quark model after assuming factorization. We find good agreement with other models in the literature and the limited experimental data and make predictions for as yet unseen decay modes. Lattice QCD results in this area are very limited. We make phenomenological observations on decays in to D_s(2317) and D_s(2460) and propose tests for determining the status and mixings of the axial mesons. We use the same approach to calculate branching ratios and polarization fraction for decays in to two D type mesons.
dc.description21 pages, 9 figures. v3: updated to reflect changes in published paper, conclusions unchanged (see source file for details). Added comments on factorization. v2: experimental data updated, references added, tables of results added, more on axial D_s mixing, added section on D D decay modes and typos corrected
