Search for Proton Decay via $p\to \nu K^{+}$ using 260 kiloton$\cdot$year data of Super-Kamiokande

Abstract

We have searched for proton decay via $p\to \nu K^{+}$ using Super-Kamiokande data from April 1996 to February 2013, 260 kiloton$\cdot$year exposure in total. No evidence for this proton decay mode is found. A lower limit of the proton lifetime is set to $5.9\times 10^{33}$ years at 90% confidence level.

13 pages with 15 figures, will be submitted to Physical Review D
