Proton decay in supersymmetric models

We discuss proton decay in supersymmetric theories. We find that it is possible to obtain rates which are comparable with those of standard SU(5). In the presence of a discrete symmetry which occurs in an SU(5) supersymmetric unified model we obtain a definite prediction for the dominant decay mode, i.e. p --> K+-[nu][mu] and n --> K0-[nu][mu].Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/23984/1/0000233.pd
