PROTON LIFETIME AND SMOLUCHOWSKI EQUATION

We present a Smoluchowski-like equation for subnuclear reactions which could be applied to both proton and muon decays. Combined with the He isenberg uncertainty principle, this phenomenological theory gives the known functional dependence of the proton (muon) lifetimes on m(p), M (x); (m(mu), M(w)), where m(p)(m(mu)) are proton (Ct meson) rest masse s and M,(M,) are the threshold masses for the electroweak/strong (elec troweak) forces unification. The stationary wave function of the react ions is also obtained.
