  "abstract": "We study the two-body decays of B^\\pm mesons to K^\\pm and a charmonium state, X_{c\\bar c}, in a sample of 210.5 fb^{-1} of data from the BaBar experiment. We perform measurements of absolute branching fractions BR(B^\\pm --> K^\\pm X_{c\\bar c}) using a missing mass technique, and report several new or improved results. In particular, the upper limit BR(B^\\pm --> K^\\pm X(3872))<3.2 10^-4 at 90% CL and the inferred lower limit BR(X(3872) --> J/\\psi\\pi^+\\pi^-)>4.2% will help in understanding the nature of the recently discovered X(3872).",
