Proton decay from quark and lepton compositeness

Abstract Within a chiral SU(15) gauge theory in which the Standard Model fermions are bound states of massless preons, we show that proton-decay operators are likely induced at the compositeness scale, Λpre. Our estimate of the limit imposed by searches for proton decays is Λpre > 104 TeV1/2 C 8...
