Description
Baryon number is conserved in the Standard Model (SM). Its violation is one of the most compelling phenomena predicted by physics beyond the SM. I will discuss the theoretical description of baryon-number-violating nucleon decays within the framework of effective field theory, which can be used to interpret existing data of Super-Kamiokande and upcoming data from the next-generation neutrino experiments including Hyper-Kamiokande, DUNE, and JUNO. The measurement of multiple decays can be used to identify the origin of baryon number violation.
