We study the charmless baryonic three-body decays of B mesons: B+ to p Lambdabar gamma, B+ to p Lambdabar pi0 and B0 to p Lambdabar pi-. The partial branching fractions as a function of the baryon-antibaryon mass and the polar angle…
Recent results of baryonic B decays from Belle are reported. This study is done by a 78 fb$^{-1}$ data sample, consisting of $85.0 \pm 0.5$ million $B\bar{B}$ pairs, collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy $e^+e^-$…

Hadronic $B$ decays without a charm quark constitute a powerful probe to search for physics beyond the standard model as well as to provide constraints on $CP$ violation parameters. We report final measurements from Belle of the branching…
