Abstract
Incomparably more often, the nucleus of an atom decays earlier, and the proton continues to exist, but in extremely rare cases, the reverse sequence is possible: the self-decay of the proton precedes the moment of the decay of the nucleus. We believe that the mass of the primary nuclide 128Te with the longest and experimentally confirmed half-life should serve as the testable mass for detecting proton self-decay. The self-decay of a proton will differ from ordinary radioactivity by much more energy released during it.
