Two-neutrino decay to excited states at next-to-leading order
Daniel Castillo, Dorian Frycz, Beatriz Benavente +1
We study two-neutrino double-beta decay () into first-excited states of nuclei used in decay experiments, including Ge, Se, Te, and $^…

Neutrinoless decay nuclear matrix elements complete up to NLO in heavy nuclei
Daniel Castillo, Lotta Jokiniemi, Pablo Soriano +1
We evaluate all nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) up to next-to-next-to leading order (NLO) in chiral effective field theory (EFT) for the neutrinoless double-beta ()…

Neutrinoless double beta decay rates in the presence of light sterile neutrinos
W. Dekens, J. de Vries, D. Castillo +5
We investigate neutrinoless double-beta decay () in minimal extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics where gauge-singlet right-handed neutrinos give rise to Di…
