Abstract

An overview of exclusive two-body and three-body baryonic B decays is given. 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 \$bs\gamma\$ are discussed. Apart from the first observation of the radiative penguin decay \$B^-\toŁambdap\gamma\$ with the baryonic final state, the decay \$B^-\Xi^0\bar\Sigma^-\gamma\$ at the level of \$610^-7\$ may be accessible to B factories in the near future.
