Abstract:
The CLEO Collaboration recently reported the observation of the mode at a rate only a factor of 4--5 lower than and . We try to understand this with a factorization approach of current produced nucleon pairs. The baryon weak vector current form factors are related by isospin rotation to nucleon electromagnetic form factors. By using measured from and processes, assuming factorization of the transition and the pair production, we are able to account for up to 60% of the observed rate. The remainder is argued to arise from the axial current. The model is then applied to B decays to other mesons plus modes and plus strange baryon pairs.- 13.40.Gp
