Dark Matter interpretation of the neutron decay anomaly

A Strumia - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We add to the Standard Model a new fermion χ with minimal baryon number 1/3.
Neutron decay n→ χχχ into non-relativistic χ can account for the neutron decay anomaly …

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 …

Searches for baryon number violation in neutrino experiments: a white paper

PSB Dev, LW Koerner, S Saad, S Antusch… - Journal of Physics G …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Baryon number conservation is not guaranteed by any fundamental symmetry within the
standard model, and therefore has been a subject of experimental and theoretical scrutiny …

MeV-scale performance of water-based and pure liquid scintillator detectors
