Abstract

We have found the first evidence for the Cabibbo suppressed, color sup pressed decay B- --> psi pi(-) in a data sample of 4 million B decays obtained by the CLEO detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CE SR). The branching ratio is found to be (4.3 +/- 2.3)% of the Cabibbo allowed B- --> psi K- decay mode, which is consistent with theoretical expectations.
