Inclusive nucleon decay searches as a frontier of baryon number violation
J Heeck, V Takhistov - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
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 …
