The impact parameter significance of tracks opposite tagged b-jets is used to differentiate b -> D\bar{D}X decays from other decays. Using this result, the average number of charm and anti-charm quarks produced per beauty quark decay, n_c, is determined.20 pages, 4 figuresHigh Energy Physics - ExperimentA study of charm production in beauty decays with the OPAL detector at LEPtext
