Abstract

We consider baryon-number-violating nucleon and dinucleon decays to leptonic final states in the context of a left-right symmetric (LRS) model with large extra dimensions. Specifically, we study (a) nucleon to trilepton decays with ΔB=1\Delta B=-1 and ΔL=3\Delta L=-3, and (b) dinucleon to dilepton decays with ΔB=2\Delta B=-2 and ΔL=2\Delta L=-2. In the LRS model, BLB-L is gauged and is spontaneously broken by a Higgs vacuum expectation value vRv_R, which characterizes the scale at which processes violating BLB-L occur. We show that together with the lower bound on vRv_R from experimental limits on nn-nˉ\bar n oscillations, constraints from searches for other nucleon decay modes imply sufficient suppression of these nucleon to trilepton and dinucleon to dilepton decay modes in this model to agree with experimental bounds.
