Abstract

Physical Sciences Physics Physics, Multidisciplinary Science & Technology
We investigate the formation of virtual black holes in the context of the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP), as a mediator for a proton decay process which is forbidden by the standard model. Then, we calculate the lower bounds of the GUP deformation parameter by the experimental bound on the half-life of the proton. Copyright (C) EPLA, 2017.
