Here, we report the study of B+→p¯ΛK+K and B+→¯pΛK+K+ decays using a 772 × 106 B¯B pair data sample recorded on the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. The following branching fractions are measured: B(B+ → p¯ΛK+K) = (4.10+0.45–0.43±0.50) × 10–6, B(B+ → ¯pΛK+K+) = (3.70+0.39–0.37±0.44) × 10–6, B(ηc → p¯ΛK + c.c.) = (2.83+0.36–0.34±0.35) × 10–3 and B(B+ → p¯ΛΦ) = (7.95 ± 2.09 ± 0.77) × 10–7, where c.c. denotes the corresponding charge-conjugation process. The intermediate resonance decays are excluded in the four-body decay measurements. We also find evidence for B(ηc → Λ(1520)¯Λ + c.c.) = (3.48 ± 1.48 ± 0.46) × 10–3 and B(B+ → Λ(1520)¯ΛK+) = (2.23 ± 0.63 ± 0.25) × 10–6. No significant signals are found for J/ψ → Λ(1520)¯Λ + c.c. and B+ → ¯Λ(1520)ΛK+; we set the 90% confidence level upper limits on their decay branching fractions as < 1.80 × 10–3 and < 2.08 × 10–6, respectively.
