RF4: Baryon and Lepton Number Violating Processes

co-Conveners: Pavel Fileviez Perez (Case Western Reserve Univ.), Andrea Pocar (University of Massachusetts-Amherst)

This Topical Group will address the following topics:

1. Theories for baryon and lepton number violation: P. Fileviez Perez (CWRU), M.B. Wise (Caltech)
2. Neutrinoless double beta decays: V. Cirigliano (LANL), A. Pocar (UMass)
3. Baryon and Lepton number violation at colliders: R. Ruiz (Cracow, INP), E. Thomson (UPenn)
4. Proton decay: E. Kearns (Boston Univ.), S. Raby (Ohio State Univ.)
5. n-nbar oscillations: K. Babu (OSU), L. Broussard (ORNL)
6. More exotic L and B violating processes: S. Gardner(Univ. of Kentucky), J. Heeck (Univ. of Virginia)
7. Connections to Cosmology: A. Long (Rice Univ.), C. Wagner (Univ. of Chicago/ANL)
