Origin of a sensitive dependence of calculated $\beta \beta$-decay amplitudes on the particle-particle residual interaction

Abstract

In the present work the sensitivity of the QRPA calculation results to a realistic residual interaction is analyzed in the framework of the approach of Refs. \cite{Rum98,Rodin05}. Both Gamow-Teller (GT) and Fermi (F) \bb-decay amplitudes $M^{2\nu }$, along with the corresponding energy-weighted sum rules $S$, are calculated. General expressions relating $S$ to a realistic residual particle-particle interaction are derived, which show a pronounced sensitivity of $S$ to the singlet-channel interaction in the case of F transitions, and to the triplet-channel interaction in the case of GT transitions. Decompositions of $M^{2\nu }$, as well as the monopole transition contributions to $M^{0\nu }$, are obtained by the method of Refs. \cite{Rum98,Rodin05}. It is shown that in most of the cases almost the whole dependence of $M^{2\nu }$ and $M^{0\nu }$ on the particle-particle renormalization parameter $g_{pp}$ is accounted for by the $g_{pp}$-dependence of the corresponding sum rules $S$. Thus, the $g_{pp}$-sensitivity of calculated $M^{2\nu }$ and $M^{0\nu }$ is unavoidable since it is dictated by the generic structure of the $\beta \beta$ amplitudes. Finally, a better isospin-consistent way of a renormalization of the realistic residual particle-particle interaction to use in QRPA calculations is suggested.
