Description

We construct a supersymmetric SU(5) model characterized by: (a) naturally massless doublet Higgs superfields; (b) the natural appearance of 'light' coloured triplet Higgses of mass of the order 1010 GeV, and study proton decay as well as the generation of cosmic baryon asymmetry. We find that an appropriate choice of Higgs sector renders dimension-five operators kinematically irrelevant for the stability of the proton. Proton decay proceeds through Higgs boson exchange in terms of dimension-six operators mainly to anti νsub(μ)K+, μ+K0. (orig.)
