This paper reports results from a search for single and multinucleon disappearance from the nucleus in water within the detector using all of the available data. These so-called “invisible” decays do not directly deposit energy within the detector but are instead detected through their subsequent nuclear deexcitation and gamma-ray emission. New limits are given for the partial lifetimes: , , , , and at 90% Bayesian credibility level (with a prior uniform in rate). All but the () results improve on existing limits by a factor of about 3.

These so-called \u201cinvisible\u201d decays do not directly deposit energy within the detector but are instead detected through their subsequent nuclear deexcitation and gamma-ray emission.
