Abstract

We study the doubly charmed baryonic B decays BΞcΛcB\to \Xi_{c} \Lambda_{c} and BΛc+ΛcKB\to \Lambda^{+}_{c} \Lambda^{-}_{c} K, recently observed by BELLE. We find that the unexpected large branching ratios (BRs) could be ascribed to the final state interactions (FSIs), which are dictated by BDDs+ΞcΛc+B\to DD^{+}_{s}\to \Xi_{c} \Lambda^{+}_{c} and BDˉ0D0KΛc+ΛcKB\to \bar D^0 D^{0} K\to \Lambda^{+}_{c} \Lambda^{-}_{c} K. By utilizing the same mechanism, we predict that the BRs for B+Ξˉc0Σc+B^{+}\to \bar \Xi^{0}_{c} \Sigma^{+}_{c} and B+ΣcΛc±K+B^{+} \to \Sigma^{\mp}_{c} \Lambda^{\pm}_{c} K^{+} decays could be as large as BR(B+Ξˉc0Λc+)BR(B^{+}\to \bar\Xi^{0}_{c} \Lambda^{+}_{c}) and 10410^{-4}, respectively. In addition, extending the FSIs to the processes associated with the creation of the ssˉs\bar s pair, BR(B+ΩˉcΞc+)BR(B^{+}\to \bar \Omega_{c} \Xi^{+}_{c}) at percent level is achievable.
