Proton decay

Abstract

Proton decay is a hypothetical form of particle decay in which protons are assumed to decay into lighter particles. This form of decay has yet to be detected. In this contribution to the proceedings of Neutrino 2022, we review the current status of proton decay, covering both experimental results and theoretical models, including their predictions.
