Baryon-Number Violation by Two Units and the Deuteron Lifetime
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: We calculate the lifetime of the deuteron with dimension-nine quark operators that violate baryon number by two units. We construct an effective field theory for |ΔB|=2 interactions that give rise to neutron-antineutron (n−¯n) oscillations and dinucleon decay within a consistent power counting. We calculate the ratio of the deuteron lifetime to the square of the n−¯n oscillation time up to next-to-leading order. Our result, which is analytical and has a quantified uncertainty, is smaller by a factor ≃2.5 than earlier estimates based on nuclear models, which impacts the indirect bound on the n−¯n oscillation time and future experiments. We discuss how combined measurements of n−¯n oscillations and deuteron decay can help to identify the sources of baryon-number violation. |
