Search for b -> u transitions in B0 -> D0 K*0 decays

We present a study of the decays B0 -> D0 K*0 and B0 -> barD0 K*0 with K*0 -> K+pi-. The D0 and the barD0 mesons are reconstructed in the final states f=K+pi-, K+pi-pi0, K+pi-pi+pi- and their charge conjugates. Using a sample of 465 million BBbar pairs collected with the Babar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- collider at SLAC, we measure the ratio R_{ADS}=[Gamma(barB0 -> [f]_D barK*0)+Gamma(B0 -> [bar{f}]_D K*0)]/ [Gamma(barB0 -> [bar{f}]_D barK*0)+Gamma(B0 -> [f]_D K*0)] for the three final states. We do not find significant evidence for a signal and set the following limits at 95% probability: R_{ADS}(Kpi) u and the b -> c amplitudes lies in the range [0.07,0.41] at 95% probability.
