Nucleon decay in the deuteron
We calculate the lifetime of the deuteron from dimension-six quark operators that violate baryon number by one unit. We construct an effective field theory (EFT) for |ΔB|=1 interactions that give rise to nucleon and ΔB=1 deuteron decay in a systematic expansion. Nucleon decay introduces imaginary pa...
