Using (771.6±10.6)×106 B¯B meson pairs recorded by the Belle experiment at the KEKB e+e− collider, we report the branching fractions B(¯B0→D*+π−)=(2.62±0.02±0.09)×10−3 and B(¯B0→D*+K−)=(2.22±0.06±0.08)×10−4; the quoted uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. A measurement of the ratio of these branching fractions is also presented, RK/π=B(¯B→D*+K−)/B(¯B→D*+π−)=(8.41±0.24±0.13)×10−2, where systematic uncertainties due to the …
