Baryon number violation is our most sensitive probe of physics beyond the
Standard Model. Its realization through heavy new particles can be conveniently encoded
in higher-dimensional operators that allow for a model-agnostic analysis. The unparalleled
sensitivity of nuclear decays to baryon number violation makes it possible to probe effective
operators of very high mass dimension, far beyond the commonly discussed dimension-six
operators. To facilitate studies of this ginormous and scarcely explored testable operator
landscape we provide the exhaustive set of baryon-number-violating operators up to mass
dimension 15, which corresponds roughly to the border of sensitivity, as well as their
explicit UV completions. In addition to the known Standard Model fields we also include
right-handed neutrinos in our operators.
