Description

We present the measurement of the mass of the D0 meson, the D*(2010)+ natural line width, and the mass difference between the D*(2010)+ and the D0 mesons using pure samples of D*(2010)+ --> D0 pi+ decays. The measurements are based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 477 fb-1, collected with the BaBar detector. Large improvements with respect to the existing measurements have been obtained for all the measured quantities.
