B − L violating nucleon decays as a probe of leptoquarks and implications for baryogenesis

We study the effective B−L violating couplings for scalar and vector leptoquarks which can naturally induce dimension seven B−L violating operators leading to very interesting nucleon decay modes such as n→e−π+,e−K+,μ−π+,μ−K+ and p→νπ+. This opens a new window to probe the nature and couplings of th...
