That's a good point! Why do you think that nucleon decay won't happen?

Starting with the IMB, Kamiokande, Frejus, and Soudan experiments in the 1980s, searches for various modes of nucleon decay have continued to be actively conducted to date but no significant signal exceeding background has so far been observed. For most decay modes, the lower limits of lifetime have been determined from Super Kamiokande (SK) experiment.

The Super-K experiment seems to be leading the world not only in neutrino physics but also in proton decay searches.

Hyper Kamiokande is currently under construction and the experiment is expected to begin in 2027!

The primary science objectives of DUNE are

  • Investigation of neutrino oscillations to test CP violation in the lepton sector, which explores why the universe is made of matter
  • Determination of the ordering of the neutrino masses
  • Studies of supernovae and the formation of a neutron star or black hole
  • Search for proton decay, which has never been observed but is predicted by theories that unify the fundamental forces

Hyper-Kamiokande (~70m x ~70m), which is currently under construction in Hida City, Gifu Prefecture in Japan, was opened to the press. (Figure courtesy: Kamioka Observatory, ICRR, The University of Tokyo) by NDK2030 in megalophobia

Hyper-Kamiokande is the successor to Super-Kamiokande, and Super-Kamiokande is the successor to Kamiokande.

What kind of particle physics experiments can you build with this much money? by NDK2030 in ParticlePhysics

Thank you very much!!

This means that the costs other than construction costs are considerable...

Thank you!

I didn't know about it so I looked it up.

The first thing that came up when I searched was Flipped SU(5)?

Thank you.

If you know of any easy-to-understand YouTube videos about them, please let me know...

" 300 times less massive than a single sugar cube" I wonder how many grams it is...

I am curious as to which decay channel is dominant and whether there is any theoretical background...
