Abstract
We consider the three lepton decay modes of the proton within the prot on decay interpretation of the atmospheric neutrino anomaly. We constr uct higher dimensional operators in the framework of the standard mode l. The operators which allow the interesting decay modes are of dimens ion 10 involving SU(2)L non-singlet Higgs. We show how these operators can be comparable to the dimension 9 operators. We then present a sim ple model which can give rise to the desired proton decay modes of the right order of magnitude.
