A Quantum Annealing Protocol to Solve the Nuclear Shell Model
Emanuele Costa, Axel Perez-Obiol, Javier Menendez +3
The nuclear shell model accurately describes the structure and dynamics of atomic nuclei. However, the exponential scaling of the basis size with the number of degrees of freedom h…
Neutrinoless decay mediated by the exchange of light and heavy neutrinos: The role of nuclear structure correlations
Javier Menéndez
Neutrinoless decay nuclear matrix elements calculated with the shell model and energy-density functional theory typically disagree by more than a factor of two in the standard…
Large-scale shell-model analysis of the neutrinoless decay of Ca
Y. Iwata, N. Shimizu, T. Otsuka +4
We present the nuclear matrix element for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of Ca based on large-scale shell-model calculations including two harmonic oscillator shells ($s…
Testing the importance of collective correlations in neutrinoless decay
J. Menéndez, N. Hinohara, J. Engel +2
We investigate the extent to which theories of collective motion can capture the physics that determines the nuclear matrix elements governing neutrinoless double-beta decay. To th…
Novel Nuclear Structure Aspects of the Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay
J. Menendez, A. Poves, E. Caurier +1
We explore the influence of the deformation on the nuclear matrix elements of the neutrinoless double beta decay (NME), concluding that the difference in deformation -or more gener…
The occupancies of individual orbits and the nuclear matrix element of the Ge neutrinoless decay
J. Menéndez, A. Poves, E. Caurier +1
We discuss the variation of the nuclear matrix element (NME) for the neutrinoless double beta () decay of Ge when the wave functions are constrained to reproduce the e…
The influence of pairing on the nuclear matrix elements of the neutrinoless double beta decays
E. Caurier, J. Menendez, F. Nowacki +1
We study in this letter the behavior of the neutrinoless double beta decay nuclear matrix elements (NME's) in the framework of the Interacting Shell Model. We analize them in terms…
Coexistence of spherical states with deformed and superdeformed bands in doubly magic 40-Ca; A shell model challenge
E. Caurier, J. Menendez, F. Nowacki +1
Large scale shell model calculations, with dimensions reaching 10**9, are carried out to describe the recently observed deformed (ND) and superdeformed (SD) bands based on the firs…
