We report on a Dalitz plot analysis of B- -> D+ pi- pi- decays, based on
a sample of about 383 million Upsilon(4S) -> BBbar decays collected with
the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC.
We find the total branching fraction of the three-body decay:
BR(B- -> D+ pi- pi-) = (1.08 +/- 0.01 +/- 0.05) x 10^-3.
The masses and widths of D^{*0}_2 and D^{*0}_0,
the 2+ and 0+ cubar P-wave states decaying to D+ pi-, are measured:
mass_{D^{*0}_2} = (2460.4 +/- 1.2 +/- 1.2 +/- 1.9) MeV/c2,
width_{D^{*0}_2} = (41.8 +/- 2.5 +/- 2.1 +/- 2.0) MeV,
mass_{D^{*0}_0} = (2297 +/- 8 +/- 5 +/- 19) MeV/c2 and
width_{D^{*0}_0} = (273 +/- 12 +/- 17 +/-45) MeV.
The stated errors reflect the statistical and systematic uncertainties,
and the uncertainty related to the assumed composition of signal events
and the theoretical model.
