摘要：

We have searched for proton decay via p --> e(+)pi(0) using data from a 25.5 kton . yr exposure of the Super-Kamiokande detector. We find no candidate events with an expected background induced by atmospheric neutrinos of 0.1 events. From these data, we set a lower limit on the partial lifetime of the proton tau/Bp-->e+pi 0 to be 1.6 x 10(33) years at a 99% confidence level. [S0031-9007(98)07309-8].
