论文摘要

通过使用0.37 $ \,$ MTON $ \ CDOT $ CDOT $年度在Super-Kamiokande收集的数据,对质子衰减进行了三个带电的瘦素。电子,muons及其抗颗粒的所有可能组合与电荷保护一致。在背景上没有发现明显的事件,并且质子寿命的下限除以分支比率。限制范围在$ 9.2 \ times10^{33} $到$ 3.4 \ times10^{34} $年度为90 $ \,$%的置信度,在先前实验的限制下,提高了超过一定的数量级。为$ p \rightarrowμ^-e^+e^+$模式设置了第一个限制。

A search for proton decay into three charged leptons has been performed by using 0.37$\,$Mton$\cdot$years of data collected in Super-Kamiokande. All possible combinations of electrons, muons and their anti-particles consistent with charge conservation were considered as decay modes. No significant excess of events has been found over the background, and lower limits on the proton lifetime divided by the branching ratio have been obtained. The limits range between $9.2\times10^{33}$ to $3.4\times10^{34}$ years at 90$\,$% confidence level, improving by more than an order of magnitude upon limits from previous experiments. A first limit has been set for the $p\rightarrowμ^-e^+e^+$ mode.
