New Chiral Structures for Baryon Number Violating Nucleon Decays
Author(s): Yi Liao, Xiao-Dong Ma, and Hao-Lin Wang
We examine the most general nucleon decay interactions that involve three light quarks without being acted upon by a derivative. We identify four generic operator structures that correspond to the irreducible representations in the chiral group ${\mathrm{SU}(3)}_{\mathtt{L}}⊗{\mathrm{SU}(3)}_{\matht… [Phys. Rev.
