Abstract:	We report a measurement of the branching fraction of the decay B0→D+D- and of the CP-odd component of its final state using the BABAR detector. With data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.4 fb-1 collected at the Υ(4S) resonance during 1999–2000, we have reconstructed 38 candidate signal events in the mode B0→D+D- with an estimated background of 6.2±0.5 events. From these events, we determine the branching fraction to be B(B0→D+D-)=[8.3±1.6(stat)±1.2(syst)]×10-4. The measured CP-odd fraction of the final state is 0.22±0.18(stat)±0.03(syst).
