(B)over-bar -> K* gamma from D -> K*(l)over-barv - art. no. 117506

The (B) over bar-->K*gamma branching fraction is predicted using heavy quar k spin symmetry at large recoil to relate the tensor and (axial-)vector for m factors, using heavy quark flavor symmetry to relate the B decay form fac tors to the measured D-->K*(l) over bar nu form factors, and extrapolating the semileptonic B decay form factors to large recoil assuming nearest pole dominance. This prediction agrees with data surprisingly well, and we comm ent on its implications for the extraction of \V-ub\ from (B) over bar-->rh o l<(nu)over bar>. [S0556-2821(99)07023-X].
