Proton Decay - Parallel
- David Martinez Caicedo (South Dakota School of Mines and Technology)
Massive and deep underground detectors such as the future Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will offer a great opportunity to search for rare, beyond-the-Standard-Model (BSM) physics signals including baryon number violating (BNV) processes. One such BNV process is nucleus-bound neutron-antineutron transition, followed by antineutron annihilation on a nearby neutron/proton that...
The DUNE experiment will have a rich set of physics topics, including neutrino oscillation and Beyond Standard Model (BSM) physics. Of great importance to the latter of these goals in baryon number violation (BNV), especially including proton decay (PDK), neutron-antineutron transformations, and dinucleon decay. All suffer from atmospheric neutrino backgrounds, which at times mimic these rare...
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a 20 kton multipurpose underground liquid scintillator (LS) detector currently under construction in China, with a 650-meter rock overburden (1800 m.w.e.) for shielding against cosmic rays. One of the capabilities of JUNO detector is to search for the baryon number violation processes, which would be a crucial step towards testing the...
