LOOKING FOR PATTERNS IN B-MESON DECAYS WITH BARYONS AT BABAR

B-meson decays containing a baryon-antibaryon pair account
for 8% of the total branching fraction, yet only a handful have been
observed exclusively.  So far, the observations reveal a puzzling
feature: the decay rates of multi-body final states are much larger
than 2-body decays.  This leads us to wonder whether multi-body decays
are enhanced by intermediate resonances.  Proposed candidates are
proton-antiproton bound states, heavy charm baryons, excited nucleons,
and more exotic possibilities such as charm pentaquarks.  I will
present results on ten B-meson decays in the modes D ppbar, D ppbar
pi, and D ppbar pi pi using a sample of 455 million BBbar pairs
collected with the BABAR detector.
