Benchmarking nuclear matrix elements of decay with high-energy nuclear collisions
Yi Li, Xin Zhang, Giuliano Giacalone +1
Reducing uncertainties in the nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) remains a critical challenge in designing and interpreting experiments aimed at discovering neutrinoless double beta ($…

Benchmark neutrinoless double-beta decay matrix elements in a light nucleus
R. A. M. Basili, J. M. Yao, J. Engel +4
We compute nuclear matrix elements of neutrinoless double-beta decay mediated by light Majorana-neutrino exchange in the A = 6 system. The goal is to benchmark two many-body approa…

Ab Initio Treatment of Collective Correlations and the Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay of Ca
J. M. Yao, B. Bally, J. Engel +3
Working with Hamiltonians from chiral effective field theory, we develop a novel framework for describing arbitrary deformed medium-mass nuclei by combining the in-medium similarit…
