Experimental Evidence for G.u.t. Proton Decay
نویسندگان
چکیده
Deep underground in Kolar Gold Fields, in southern India, an experiment to detect proton decay had been carried out since the end of 1980. Analysis of data yielded the following results; (l) the life time of proton is about 1 x 10 years, (2) it decays into wide spectrum of decay modes, p e , p K and so on, and (3) the life time and the distribution of decay modes are close to the predictions of SU(5) SUSY GUT. Four events representing possibly neutron oscillation are also seen.

Nuclear matrix elements of ββ decay from β-decay data
The evaluation of the nuclear matrix elements (NME) of the twoneutrino double beta (2νββ) decay and neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay using the proton-neutron quasiparticle random-phase approximation (pnQRPA) is addressed. In particular, the extraction of a proper value of the proton-neutron particle-particle interaction parameter, gpp, of this theory is analyzed in detail. Evidence is show...
متن کاملDiproton decay of nuclei on the proton drip line.
The process of direct two-proton decay of nuclei with Z 22-28 on the proton drip line is considered. On the basis of new Od3t2 Offi2 -shell-model mass extrapolations, '9Ti, 42Cr, 45Fe, Ni, and Ni are found to be bound to single-proton decay but unbound to two-proton decay. New estimates of the spectroscopic factors and lifetimes have been made. The decays of Ti, Fe, and Ni are found to be promi...
متن کاملProton Decay in a Consistent Supersymmetric SU(5) GUT Model
It is widely believed that minimal supersymmetric SU(5) GUTs have been excluded by the SuperKamiokande bound for the proton decay rate. In the minimal model, however, the theoretical prediction assumes unification of Yukawa couplings, Yd = Ye, which is known to be badly violated. We analyze the implications of this fact for the proton decay rate. In a consistent SU(5) model with higher dimensio...
متن کاملProton decay: spectroscopic probe beyond the proton drip line
Proton decay has been transformed in recent years from an exotic phenomenon into a powerful spectroscopic tool. The frontiers of experimental and theoretical proton-decay studies will be reviewed. Different aspects of proton decay will be illustrated with recent results on the deformed proton emitter 135Tb, the odd–odd deformed proton emitter 130Eu, the complex fine structure in the odd–odd 146...
متن کاملTwo-Proton Decay Experiments at MSU
First evidence for direct two-proton radioactivity has been observed in the decay of the first excited state of Ne. The decay is in competition with the -decay back to the ground state of Ne and from the branching ratio the lifetime for the two-proton decay is estimated to be 0.9 ps. The proton-proton angular distribution is statistically not significant to observe any correlations. The first e...
