Abstract:
The status of exclusive two-body and three-body baryonic B decays is reviewed. The threshold enhancement effect in the dibaryon invariant mass and the angular distributions in the dibaryon rest frame are stressed and explained. Weak radiative baryonic B decays mediated by the electromagnetic penguin process bsγb\to s\gamma are discussed. Puzzles with the correlation observed in BppˉKB^-\to p\bar pK^- decay and the unexpectedly large rate observed for BΛcΛˉcKB\to\Lambda_c\bar\Lambda_cK are examined. The former may indicate that the ppˉp\bar p system is produced through some intermediate states, while the latter implies the failure of naive factorization for ΛΛˉK\Lambda\bar\Lambda K modes and may hint at the importance of final-state rescattering effects.
