Inclusive nucleon decay searches as a frontier of baryon number violation
Inclusive nucleon decay searches as a frontier of baryon number violation
Proton decay, and the decay of nucleons in general, constitutes one of the most sensitive probes of high-scale physics beyond the Standard Model. Most of the existing nucleon decay searches have focused primarily on two-body decay channels, motivated by Grand Unified Theories and supersymmetry. However, many higher-dimensional operators violating baryon …
