Some thoughts on searches for proton decay
Description
Several general aspects of proton decay experiments are considered. It is pointed out that there is currently a gap between proton lifetime as determined by experiment and as predicted by theory. Ideal detectors, event identification and discrimination from background and reproducibility of results are discussed. Finally the author suggests the possibility of p/n asymmetry in reported events
