We study the two-body and three-body charmful baryonic B decays: $\bar B^0\to \Lambda_c\bar p$ and $\bar B\to \Lambda_c \bar p\pi(\rho)$. The factorizable W-exchange contribution to $\bar B^0\to\Lambda_c\bar p$ is negligible. Applying the…

There are two apparent puzzles connected with the two-body and three-body doubly charmed baryonic B decays. First, earlier calculations based on QCD sum rules or the diquark model predict $Br(\bar B^0\to\Xi_c^+\bar\Lambda_c^-)\approx…

We study the three-body charmed baryonic decays $\bar{B}^0\to\Sigma_c^{++} \bar{p}\pi^-$ and $\bar{B}^0\to\Sigma_c^{0}\bar{p}\pi^+$ in the four-body final state $\bar{B}^0\to\Lambda_c^{+}\bar{p}\pi^+\pi^-$, using a data sample of 357…

We study the charmful three-body baryonic B decays with $D^{(*)}$ or $J/\Psi$ in the final state. We explain the measured rates of $\bar B^0\to n\bar p D^{*+}$, $\bar B^0\to p\bar p D^{(*)0}$, and $B^-\to \Lambda \bar p J/\Psi$ and predict…

Using 29.1fb-1 of data accumulated at the Upsilon(4S) with the Belle detector at KEKB, we have studied the decay modes B0bar->Lambda_c+ pbar pi+pi-, B- -> Lambda_c+ pbar pi-, and B0bar ->Lambda_c+ pbar. We report branching fractions of…

We study the four-body baryonic $B\to {\bf B_1 \bar B_2}M_1 M_2$ decays with $\bf B_{1,2}$ ($M_{1,2}$) being charmless baryons (mesons). In accordance with the recent LHCb observations, each decay is considered to proceed through the $B\to…

We study for the first time the three-body charmless baryonic decays $\bar B^0_s\to \bar p \Lambda M^+ (p \bar \Lambda M^-)$, with $M=\pi, K$. We find that the branching ratios of $\bar B^0_s\to (\bar p \Lambda K^+$ and $p\bar \Lambda K^-)$…

We report recent observations of baryonic B decays with charmless and charmed baryons in the final state. We show the angular distributions of the di-baryon low-mass enhancements in the charmless three-body baryonic B decays andthe…

In the quark-diagram scheme, we study the charmed baryon decays of ${\bf B}_c\to {\bf B}^* M$, where ${\bf B}_c$ is $\Lambda_c^+$ or $\Xi_c^{+(0)}$, together with ${\bf B}^*$ ($M$) the decuplet baryon (pseudoscalar meson). It is found that…

We present a systematical study of two-body and three-body charmless baryonic B decays. Branching ratios for two-body modes are in general very small, typically less than $10^{-6}$, except that $\B(B^-\to p \bar\Delta^{--})\sim 1\times…

We study the charmful three-body baryonic B decays with $D^{(*)}$ or $J/\Psi$ in the final state. We explain the measured rates of $\bar B^0\to n\bar p D^{*+}$, $\bar B^0\to p\bar p D^{(*)0}$, and $B^-\to \Lambda \bar p J/\Psi$. In…

I present latest measurements from the B factories of branching fractions for B meson decays to hadronic two- and three-body final states. These include the rate of doubly Cabibbo-suppressed charge states of charmed mesons in two-body…

We point out new ways to search for charmless baryonic B decays: baryon pair production in association with $\eta^\prime$ is very likely as large as or even a bit larger than two body $K\pi/\pi\pi$ modes. We extend our argument, in weaker…

The framework under which decays $\Lambda_{b}(\frac{1}{2}^{+})\rightarrow B(\frac{1}{2}^{+})+M$ are analyzed is not applicable for the decays $\Lambda_{b}(\frac{1}{2}^{+})\rightarrow B^{\ast}(\frac{3}{2} ^{+})+M$. These decays occur through…

We study the charmless two-body decays of $b$-baryons $(\Lambda_b$, $\Xi_b^-$, $\Xi_b^0)$. We find that ${\cal B}(\Xi_b^-\to \Lambda \rho^-)=(2.08^{+0.69}_{-0.51})\times 10^{-6}$ and ${\cal B}(\Xi_b^0\to \Sigma^+…

Motivated by recent data on B-> p pbar K decay, we study various charmless three-body baryonic B decay modes, including Lambda pbar pi, Sigma0 pbar pi, p pbar pi, p pbar Kbar0, in a factorization approach. These modes have rates of order…

We study the charmful three-body baryonic B decays $\bar B\to D^{(*)}N\bar N$: the color-allowed modes $\bar B^0\to D^{(*)+}n\bar p$ and the color-suppressed ones $\bar B^0\to D^{(*)0}p\bar p$. While the $D^{*+}/D^+$ production ratio is…

We study the doubly charmful two-body and three-body baryonic B decays $\bar B\to \Lambda_c^+\bar \Lambda_c^-$ and $\bar B\to \Lambda_c^+\bar \Lambda_c^- \bar K$. As pointed out before, a naive estimate of the branching ratio ${\cal…

We study three-body charmless baryonic B decays of $B \to \Lambda\bar\Lambda P$ with $P=\pi$ and $K$ in the standard model. We find that the branching ratios of the $K$ modes are about one order of magnitude larger than those of the…

A search for the rare two-body charmless baryonic decay $B^+ \to p \bar\Lambda$ is performed with $pp$ collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3\,\mbox{fb}^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass…
