Determining the quantum numbers of excited heavy mesons
  We discuss the decays X^* -> Xe^+e^- (``Dalitz decays'') of excited heavy mesons into their ground states and an electron-positron pair. We argue that the measurement of the invariant mass spectrum of the lepton pair gives clear indication on the quantum numbers of the excited meson and thus provides an experimental test of the quark model predictions.
