Abstract

We study the angular distributions of the baryon-antibaryon low-mass enhancements in the three-body baryonic B decays of BppˉMB\to p\bar{p}M (M=K and π\pi) in the framework of the perturbative QCD. By writing the most general forms for the transition form factors of BppˉB\to p\bar{p}, we find that the angular distribution asymmetry in BppˉKB^-\to p\bar{p}K^- measured by the Belle Collaboration can be explained. We give a quantitative description on the Dalitz plot asymmetry in BppˉKB^-\to p\bar{p}K^- shown by the BaBar Collaboration and demonstrate that it is equivalent to the angular asymmetry. In addition, we present our results on Bˉ0ppˉKS\bar B^0\to p\bar{p}K_S and BppˉπB^-\to p\bar{p}\pi^- and we obtain that their angular asymmetries are 0.35±0.11-0.35\pm0.11 and 0.45±0.100.45\pm0.10, respectively, which can be tested by the ongoing experiments at the B factories.
