Abstract: | The B factories are expected to provide huge samples of single B decay events with little background by reconstructing one of the B mesons produced in decays. This represents a new experimental paradigm: such samples will allow to make measurements of a quality previously
thought unrealistic. As example we discuss how absolute branching ratios for exclusive as well as inclusive charm baryon decays
can be extracted. One starts out by observing decays like as a signature for etc. and then exploits various correlations of the flavour of the B meson with the baryon number of the (anti)proton and other observables like the charge of a lepton, baryon number of another
baryon etc. An integrated luminosity of about 500 fb-1 as could be available by 2005 should be sufficient for the task.
