Nuclear Effects in Proton Decay
An experimental observation of proton decay would be a spectacular proof of Grand Unification. Currently, the best constraint on the proton lifetime for the p → eπ decay channel, coming from the SuperKamiokande experiment, reaches 8 × 10 years. To improve the measurement, much bigger detectors should be constructed. Moreover, a better description of the bound-nucleon states and of the propagati...
متن کاملReal-time dynamics of proton decay
Substituting Skyrmion for nucleon, one can potentially see — in real time — how the monopole is catalysing the proton (or neutron) decay, and even obtain a plausible estimate for catalysis cross-section. Here we discuss the key aspects of a practical implementation of such approach and demonstrate how one can overcome the main technical problems: Gauss constraint violation and reflections at th...
متن کاملProton decay in a nucleus: Nonrelativistic treatment of nuclear effects
In this paper, proton decay in a large nucleus is studied in the framework of SU{5) grand unification theory (GUT). By using a method based upon the Green s-function technique of many-body physics, nuclear effects on spectator and pole terms are computed. The decay width in the nucleus is found to be practically the same as in free space. However, nuclear effects are of considerable importance ...
متن کاملProton decay in a nucleus: Effects of the nuclear surface.
In this paper, a method to deal with proton decay in nuclear matter, previously published, ' is generalized in order to include effects arising from the nuclear surface. Although several theoretical estimates'~ indicate the (eventual) proton decay width in a nucleus to be rather similar to that of an isolated proton, things are different regarding the spectra of the emitted particles (both lept...
متن کاملProton decay
The status of proton decay is described, including general motivations for baryon number violation, and the present and future experimental situation. Grand unification with and without supersymmetry is considered, including possible evidence from coupling constant unification and implications for proton decay and neutrino mass. 1 Motivations Baryon number is almost certainly not absolutely con...
