Abstract

We use p¯p and e+e annihilation data to further strengthen lower bounds on the partial lifetimes for the baryon-number-violating dinucleon decays nne+e and nnμ+μ. These bounds are of interest since baryon number violation is expected to occur in nature and is predicted in many theories beyond the Standard Model.
