Search for B --> Jpsi Baryon Antibaryon

Studies of charmonium (c c-bar mesons) produced in the decay of B mesons by 
BaBar, CLEO and Belle all indicate a significant excess of Jpsi at low 
center-of-mass momentum. Possible sources for this excess include B decays 
of the type B --> Jpsi baryon antibaryon. The rate of such decays could be 
enhanced by the intermediate production of exotic resonances predicted by QCD 
but not yet observed. We will report the results of a search by BaBar for 
these decays and the associated exotic resonances.
