2. S.-W. Lin 2006/3/19 Moriond QCD 2 Introduction B meson can decay into baryonic final states due to its heavy mass, through b-> cW, b-> uW and b-> s gamma … There are several theoretical models to predict BRs. Topics 1.BR. Measurements for charmless and charmed decays 1.BR. Measurements for charmless and charmed decays New baryonic B decays through b-> s gamma and b->c(cs) New baryonic B decays through b-> s gamma and b->c(cs) 2.Low mass enhancements in 3-body charmless baryonic decays 2.Low mass enhancements in 3-body charmless baryonic decays Decay angle distribution  fragmentation picture Decay angle distribution  fragmentation picture 3.Glueball search 3.Glueball search 4.Study of J/ψ  pp and ΛΛin B  J/ψK decay 4.Study of J/ψ  pp and ΛΛin B  J/ψK decay 5.Intermediate states 5.Intermediate states Observation only in the charmed baryonic decays Observation only in the charmed baryonic decays
