Abstract
With the experimental evidences of ¯B0→pˉp and B−→Λˉp decays, it is now possible to extract both tree and penguin amplitudes of the charmless two-body baryonic B decays for the first time. The extracted penguin-tree ratio agrees with the expectation. Using the topological amplitude approach with the experimental results on ¯B0→pˉp and B−→Λˉp decay rates as input, predictions on all other ¯Bq→B¯B, B¯D, D¯B and D¯D decay rates, where B and D are the low lying octet and decuplet baryons, respectively, are given. It is non-trivial that the results do not violate any existing experimental upper limit. From the analysis it is understandable that why ¯B0→pˉp and B−→Λˉp modes are the first two modes with experimental evidences. Relations on rates are verified using the numerical results. We note that the predicted B−→p¯Δ++ rate is close to the experimental bound, which has not been updated in the last ten years. Direct CP asymmetries of all ¯Bq→B¯B, B¯D, D¯B and D¯D modes are explored. Relations on CP asymmetries are examined using the numerical results. The direct CP asymmetry of ¯B0→pˉp decay can be as large as ±50%.
