Search for the Decay B0 -> ppbar

We present the result of a search for the charmless two-body baryonic decay B^0 -> ppbar in a sample of 88 million Y(4S) -> BBbar decays collected by the BaBar detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy $B$ Factory. We use Cherenkov radiation to identify protons cleanly, and determine the signal yield with a maximum-likelihood fit technique using kinematic and topological information. We find no evidence for a signal and place a 90% confidence-level upper limit of BF(B^0 -> ppbar) < 2.7 x 10^-7.
