Description

We build different gauged $U(1)_X$ models ($X = B, L B+L$) by finding anomaly free solutions. We analyse their phenomenological implications focusing on proton decay. We find that the $U(1)_L$ model is the most interesting case. We analyse the possibility of the gauged $U(1)_L$ breaking to a residual Z_3 subgroup and show that it leads to novel proton decays. We find that the usual two-body proton decays are forbidden by the residual Z_3 symmetry. Instead, our model leads to n-body ($n \geq 4$) proton decays that are induced by dimension nine effective operators, leading to novel experimental signatures.
