From Neutrino Masses to Proton Decay

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2014-11-17 v1

Abstract

Current theoretical and experimental issues are reviewed in the light of the recent SuperKamiokande discovery. By using quark-lepton symmetries, derived from Grand Unification and/or string theories, we show how to determine the necessary neutrino parameters. In addition, the seesaw neutrino masses set the scale for the proton decay operators by ``measuring'' the standard model cut-off. The SuperKamiokande values suggest that proton decay is likely to be observed early in the XXIst Century.
