The trilepton nucleon decay modes $p rightarrow e^+ u u$ and $p rightarrow mu^+ u u$ violate $|Delta (B - L)|$ by two units. Using data from a 273.4 kiloton year exposure of Super-Kamiokande a search for these decays yields a fit consistent with no signal. Accordingly, lower limits on the partial lifetimes of $tau_{p rightarrow e^+ u u} > 1.7 times 10^{32}$ years and $tau_{p rightarrow mu^+ u u} > 2.2 times 10^{32}$ years at a $90 % $ confidence level are obtained. These limits can constrain Grand Unified Theories which allow for such processes.

We present the results of searches for nucleon decay via bound neutron to antineutrino plus pizero and proton to antineutrino plus piplus using data from a combined 172.8 kiloton-years exposure of Super-Kamiokande-I, -II, and -III. We set lower limits on the partial lifetime for each of these modes. For antineutrino pizero, the partial lifetime is >1.1x10^{33} years; for antineutrino piplus, the partial lifetime is >3.9x10^{32} years at 90% confidence level.
We have searched for proton decay via $p rightarrow u K^{+}$ using Super-Kamiokande data from April 1996 to February 2013, 260 kiloton$cdot$year exposure in total. No evidence for this proton decay mode is found. A lower limit of the proton lifetime is set to $5.9 times 10^{33}$ years at 90% confidence level.
A search for the rare leptonic decay $B^{+} rightarrow {mu}^{+}{mu}^{-}{mu}^{+}{ u}_{{mu}}$ is performed using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $4.7$ fb$^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment. The search is carried out in the region where the lowest of the two ${mu}^{+}{mu}^{-}$ mass combinations is below $980$MeV/c$^{2}$. The data are consistent with the background-only hypothesis and an upper limit of $1.6 times 10^{-8}$ at 95% confidence level is set on the branching fraction in the stated kinematic region.
We search for the rare flavor-changing neutral current process $B^- to Lambda {overline p} u{overline{ u}}$ using data from the BABAR experiment. A total of 424 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected at the center-of-mass energy of the $Upsilon$(4S) resonance is used in this study, corresponding to a sample of ${(471 pm 3) times 10^{6}}$ $Boverline{B}$ pairs. Signal $B^- to Lambda {overline p} u{overline{ u}}$ candidates are identified by first fully reconstructing a $B^+$ decay in one of many possible exclusive decays to hadronic final states, then examining detector activity that is not associated with this reconstructed $B^+$ decay for evidence of a signal $B^- to Lambda {overline p} u{overline{ u}}$ decay. The data yield is found to be consistent with the expected background contribution under a null signal hypothesis, resulting in an upper limit of ${{cal B} (B^- to Lambda {overline p} u{overline{ u}}) < 3.0times 10^{-5}}$ at the $90%$ confidence level.
The recent interest in a light gauge boson in the framework of an extra U(1) symmetry motivates searches in the mass range below 1 GeV. We present a search for such a particle, the dark photon, in ${rm e^+ e^-}rightarrow {rm U}gamma$, U$rightarrow pi^+pi^-$ based on 28 million $mathrm{e^+ e^-} rightarrow pi^+ pi^-gamma$ events collected at DA$Phi$NE by the KLOE experiment. The $pi^+ pi^-$ production by initial-state radiation compensates for a loss of sensitivity of previous KLOE ${rm U} rightarrow mathrm{e^+ e^-}$, $mu^+mu^-$ searches due to the small branching ratios in the $rho-omega$ resonance region. We found no evidence for a signal and set a limit at 90% CL on the mixing strength between the photon and the dark photon, $varepsilon^2$, in the U mass range between $527$ and $987$~MeV. Above 700 MeV this new limit is more stringent than previous ones.
