IDENTIFICATION OF NEUTRAL B-MESONS USING CORRELATED HADRONS

The identification of the flavor of a neutral B meson can make use of hadrons produced nearby in phase space. Examples include the decay of ''B*'' resonances or the production of hadrons as a result of the fra gmentation process. Some aspects of this method are discussed, includi ng time-dependent effects in neutral B decays to flavor states, to eig enstates of CP and to other states, and the effects of possible cohere nce between B0 and B0BAR in the initial state. We study the behavior o f the leading hadrons in b-quark jets and the expected properties of B * resonances. These are extrapolated from the corresponding D** reson ances, of whose properties we suggest further studies
