Abstract

We study the four-body exclusive semileptonic baryonic Bˉ\bar B decays of BppˉνˉB^-\to p\bar p \ell^- \bar\nu_{\ell} (=e,μ,τ\ell=e,\mu,\tau) in the standard model. We find that their decay branching ratios are about (1.0,1.0,0.5)×104(1.0, 1.0,0.5)\times 10^{-4}, respectively. In particular, the electron mode is close to the corresponding CLEO's upper limit of 5.2×1035.2\times 10^{-3}, while all results are about one or two orders of magnitude larger than the previous estimated values for the inclusive modes of BˉBBˉνˉ\bar B\to {\bf B\bar B'}\ell \bar \nu. Clearly, both B-factories of Belle and BaBar should be able to observe these exclusive four-body modes.
