dc.descriptionWe search for the doubly charmed baryonic decay $\bar{B}^0\toΛ_c^+\barΛ_c^-$, in a data sample of $520\times10^6$ $B{\bar B}$ events accumulated at the $Υ(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric e^+e^- collider. We find no significant signal and set an upper limit of ${\cal B}(\bar{B}^0\toΛ_c^+\barΛ_c^-)<6.2\times10^{-5}$ at 90% confidence level. The result is significantly below a naive extrapolation from ${\cal B}(B^-\toΞ_c^0\barΛ_c^)$ assuming a simple Cabibbo-suppression factor of $|V_{cd}/V_{cs}|^2$. The small branching fraction could be attributed to a suppression due to the large momentum of the baryonic decay products, which has been observed in other charmed baryonic two-body B decays. trend observed in other charmed baryonic two-body B decays.
