Phys. Rev. D 59, 052004 (1999) [6 pages]Search for nucleon decay using the IMB-3 detectorReceived 29 May 1997; published 10 February 1999 The IMB-3 experiment was a large water Cherenkov ring imaging detector with a fiducial mass of 3.3 kton. During a 7.6-kton-year exposure (∼4.6×1033nucleon yr) 935 contained events were observed. The observed rate and characteristics are consistent with the expected backgrounds from atmospheric neutrinos. Lower limits on the nucleon lifetime are set for a wide variety of proposed decay modes. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
