Scientific paper

The current status of the search for proton decay on earth is described, emphasizing the decay mode P - K(+)antineutrino and the possibility of detecting this mode with a simple detector on a lunar base station using the Lunar material for the bulk of the detector is discussed. The same detector could be used to search for neutrino bursts from distant supernova using the neutral current signature nu(mu,tau) + N to n + nu(x) by detecting the produced neutrons. The key problem is the development of very low mass sensitive detector elements to transport to the moon. The detection of supernova neutrinos will provide new insights into the mechanism of stellar collapse.
