Book excerpt: We present a measurement of the B° → {bar ?}p?− branching fraction performed using the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric e+e− collider. Based on a sample of 467 x 106 B{bar B} pairs we measure ?(B° → {bar ?}p?−) [3.07 ± 0.31(stat.) ± 0.23(syst.)] x 10−6. The measured differential spectrum as a function of the dibaryon invariant mass m({bar ?}p) shows a near-threshold enhancement similar to that observed in other baryonic B decays. We study the {bar ?} polarization as a function of {bar ?} energy in the B° rest frame (E*{sub {bar ?}}) and compare it with theoretical expectations of fully longitudinally right-polarized {bar ?} at large E*{sub {bar ?}}.
