    abstract = "Experimental evidence for the existence of orbitally excited B meson
states is presented in an analysis of the B pi and B*pi distribution
of Q = m(B**) - m(B(*)) - m(pi) using Z(0) decay data taken with
the DELPHI detector at LEP. The mean Q-value of the decays B** –>
B(*)pi is measured to be 284 +/-5 (stat.) +/- 15 (syst.) MeV/c(2), and
the Gaussian width of the signal is 79 +/- 5 (stat.) +/- 8 (syst)
MeV/c(2). This signal can be described as a single resonance of mass m =
5732+/-5 (stat.) +/- 20(syst.) MeV/c(2) and full width Gamma = 145 +/-
28 MeV/c(2). The observed shape is also consistent with the production
of several broad and narrow states as predicted by the quark model and
partly observed in the D-meson sector. The production rate of B**
per b-jet is found to be 0.27 +/- 0.02(stat.) +/- 0.06 (syst.)."
