Monopole catalysis of nucleon decay in neutron stars

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
; ;
From observed limits on the x-ray flux from neutron stars, a bound is placed on the product of the galactic flux of massive monopoles and the cross section for monopole-catalyzed nucleon decay: F/sub M/sigma/sub DeltaB/< or =5 x 10/sup -49/ s/sup -1/ sr/sup -1/.
