Using a large data sample collected at the ÃŽÂ¥(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e+e- collider, we search for the following B meson decay modes:(1)To search for source of the excess in the low momentum region of the inclusive J/Ψ momentum spectrum for B → J/Ψ + X, which is not consistent with the predictions from nonrelativistic QCD calculation; to search for bound state of baryons and anti-baryons (baryonia); and search for new baryonic B decay mode. We perform searches for B → J/Ψ + baryon + anti-baryon decays (include B- → J/Ψ Λ(?), B-→ J/Ψ∑0(?) and B0 → J/Ψp(?)) using a data sample of 253 fb-1 (275 million B(?) pairs).Candidates for B-→ J/ΨΛ(?) and B0→ J/Ψp(?) are fully reconstructed with all daughters in the final states, where we use the decay chains J/Ψ → l+l- (l = e,μ) and A → pÀ-. Candidates for B-→ J/Ψ∑0(?) are reconstructed partially, where only the daughters from the J/Ψ and Λ decays plus the anti-proton are reconstructed in the final state. The A originates from the ∑0 →ΛΥ decay. Partial reconstruction of B-→ J/Ψ∑0(?) without the low momentum ÃŽÂ¥ from the ∑0 decay gives better sensitivity than full reconstruction because of the low detection efficiency for soft photons. As a result, the same selection criteria are applied for fully reconstructed B- → J/ΨΛ(?) and partially reconstructed B -→ J/Ψ∑0(?).The mass of daughter particles are very large for these three decay modes, sum of these masses is close to B meson mass. It make the momentum and reconstruction efficiency very low.We study reconstruction efficiency, signal region and event selection criteria using a large Monte Calor (MC) sample. To study background, we use inclusive J/Ψ MC (100 times that of real data) and sideband region of real data.Firstly, we process event selection and reconstruction (reconstruct J/Ψ and Λ, select (?) from charged track). B meson is reconstructed by combining selected and reconstructed daughter particle. We identify B candidates using two kinematic variables calculated in the center-of-mass system: the beam-energy constrained mass...
