Baryon Number Violation: From Nuclear Matrix Elements to BSM Physics
read the original abstract
Processes that violate baryon number, most notably proton decay and $n\bar n$ transitions, are promising probes of physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM) needed to understand the lack of antimatter in the Universe. To interpret current and forthcoming experimental limits, theory input from nuclear matrix elements to UV complete models enters. Thus, an interplay of experiment, effective field theory, lattice QCD, and BSM model building is required to develop strategies to accurately extract information from current and future data and maximize the impact and sensitivity of next-generation experiments. Here, we briefly summarize the main results and discussions from the workshop "INT-25-91W: Baryon Number Violation: From Nuclear Matrix Elements to BSM Physics," held at the Institute for Nuclear Theory, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, January 13-17, 2025.

EFT Pathways to $|\Delta B| =2$: Chiral Constructions and Phenomenology
A chiral EFT framework is constructed for |ΔB|=2 interactions that matches SMEFT operators to low-energy baryon processes and identifies new dinucleon decay channels sensitive to previously unconstrained operator structures.

Searching for apparent baryon number violation in $\Lambda_c^+$ decays at the Super Tau-Charm Facility
STCF with 1 ab^{-1} can probe several-TeV new-physics scales in sterile-neutrino EFT and constrain an RPV SUSY parameter to ~0.1 TeV^{-2} for apparent BNV in unexplored Lambda_c+ channels.
