% Submission Form.

% ---------------------------------------------------------------------
% COMMENTS are preceded by the '%' character.  Lines (or portions of
%   lines) that start with a '%' are ignored by LaTeX.  Such lines
%   may be left in the file during processing.

%   margin with either a '\' or a '%\'.  Author-provided information
%   should be entered within the curly braces.  Indented lines 
%   beginning with '%' are examples only, and should be left alone.

%   contain a valid meeting ID.  The valid meeting ID can be found 
%   in the information file for the meeting to which you are 
%   submitting.
\MeetingID{DPF96}

% Supply one sorting category for this abstract.  Use one of the
%   category codes listed in the information file for the meeting
%   to which you are submitting, and fill in the brackets from left to
%   right ,so that if there are only two levels of sorting, the first 
%   two brackets are filled in, and the last two are blank, 
%   thusly: {34}{d}{}{}.
\SortCategory{4}{A}{3}{}
%  For Plasma Physics Meeting only (theoretical or experimental).

%       SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION
% ---------------------------------------------------------------------
% The following information constitutes your printed abstract,
%   subject to APS formatting rules.  If you are not able to view the 
%   abstract with a LaTeX viewer, make certain that the title, author 
%   list, abstract body and footnotes do not total more than 1300 
%   characters, including spaces.

% DO NOT change the following line.
\begin{document}

% ---------------------------------------------------------------------
% Use the following statement to indicate the title of your abstract.
% Use mixed case and do not underline.
\Title{Branching fractions for $\psi(2S)$ decays to baryon-antibaryon pairs}

% ---------------------------------------------------------------------
% Authors and their affiliations are specified in groups by
%   institution.
% Use the following three statements to indicate presenting author
%   and affiliation information.
\AuthorSurname{Pan}
\AuthorGivenName{Lingjun}
\AuthorAffil{University of Hawaii at Manoa
(representing the BES Collaboration)}
% If there are additional authors associated with the presenting
%   author's affiliation, the 'surname' and 'given name' statements
%   may be repeated prior to the 'affil' statement to save abstract
%   space.
% If there are more author/affiliation combinations, create
%   additional sets of  \Author markup groups as many times
%   as required.

% The following line is REQUIRED.  Leave it intact.
\begin{abstract}

%   Replace this comment with your abstract.  Abstract text lines
%   should NOT begin with '%' characters.  Use the LaTeX \footnote
%   command to include footnotes in the abstract.
A sample of 3.5M $\psi(2S)$ decays recorded in the BES detector
are used to determine branching fractions to octet- and decuplet-baryon
pairs.  The results are compared with predictions based
on extrapolations from the corresponding $J/\psi$ decays and  
expectations from flavor-SU(3) symmetry.
% The following line is REQUIRED.  Leave it intact.
