the lifetime of the proton in vanilla su(5) can be naively estimated as formula_1. supersymmetric guts with reunification scales around   yield a lifetime of around 10 yr, roughly the current experimental lower bound.

section::::decay operators.:dimension-6 proton decay operators.









































the dimension-6 proton decay operators are formula_2, formula_3, formula_4 and formula_5 where formula_6 is the cutoff scale for the standard model. all of these operators violate both baryon number ("b") and lepton number ("l") conservation but not the combination "b" − "l".
