${{\overline{\mathit p}}}$ MEAN LIFE
See the ``Note on Nucleon Decay'' in our 1994 edition (Phys. Rev. $\mathbf {D50}$, 1173) for a short review. The ``partial mean life'' limits tabulated here are the limits on ${{\mathit \tau}}/B_{\mathit i}$, where ${{\mathit \tau}}$ is the total mean life and B$_{\mathit i}$ is the branching fraction for the mode in question. For ${{\mathit N}}$ decays, ${{\mathit p}}$ and ${{\mathit n}}$ indicate proton and neutron partial lifetimes.
