If grand unification is real, searches for baryon-number violation should be included on the list of observables that may reveal information regarding the origin of neutrino masses. Making use of an effective-operator approach and assuming that nature is SU(5) invariant at very short distances, we estimate the consequences of different scenarios that lead to light Majorana neutrinos for low-energy phenomena that violate baryon number minus lepton number (B-L) by two (or more) units, including neutron-antineutron oscillations and B-L violating nucleon decays. We find that, among all possible effective theories of lepton-number violation that lead to nonzero neutrino masses, only a subset is, broadly speaking, consistent with grand unification.

    A new SU(5) grand unified version of the Zee-Babu model predicts TeV-scale colored scalars, a vector-like down quark, and observable proton decay p→e+π0 at Hyper-Kamiokande.

    In SMEFT, the (B-L)-violating decay n → K⁺ℓ⁻ appears at dimension seven while the conserving n → K⁻ℓ⁺ requires dimension ten and is accompanied by lower-dimensional (B+L)-violating modes, so n → Kℓ without modes like ...

    Lambda-antilambda oscillations are already bounded far more strongly by Super-Kamiokande's pp→K+K+ limit (δmΛ ≲ 10^-32 GeV) than by BESIII's direct search, making dedicated oscillation searches non-competitive in the ...
