Description
Baryonic decays account for about 7% of the B-meson width,
and have been studied in recent years by the B factories.
These studies reveal properties of hadronization at low q^2,
such as s anti-s suppression known from jet fragmentation,
and phase space relations between the baryon and antibaryon.
The measurement and comparison of exclusive branching fractions
of baryonic B decays as well as studies on the dynamic of the decay,
may allow better understanding of the aforementioned properties.
We present the most recent measurements of B-meson decays with
two or four baryons in the final state performed with the BABAR detector.
