Abstract
We present a search for semileptonic B decays to the charmed baryon Λ[subscript c][superscript +] based on 420  fb[superscript -1] of data collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e[superscript +]e[superscript -] storage rings. By fully reconstructing the recoiling B in a hadronic decay mode, we reduce non-B backgrounds and determine the flavor of the signal B. We statistically correct the flavor for the effect of the B[superscript 0] mixing. We obtain a 90% confidence level upper limit of B(B̅ →Λ[subscript c][superscript +]Xℓ[superscript -]ν̅ [subscript ℓ])/B(B̅ →Λ[subscript c][superscript +]X)<3.5%.
