Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the potential of the BABAR detector at PEP II to measure CP violation using the vector-vector channel B[sup 0] [yields] D*[sup +]D*[sup -] is presented. The decay mode, although not a CP eigenstate, is sensitive to the angle [beta] of the unitarity triangle, a fundamental measure of CP violation in the neutral B system. The decay mode B[sup 0] [yields] D*[sup +]D*[sup -] is reconstructed in a variety of channels and a study of the separation of the CP eigenstate contributions and extraction of the angle [beta] is presented. The contribution of this channel is compared with other similar channels, and the overall prospects for measuring the angle [beta] in the first years of BABAR running is summarized.
