Constraining new physics with a novel measurement of the Ne -decay branching ratio
Yonatan Mishnayot, Ayala Glick-Magid, Hitesh Rahangdale +20
Measurements of the beta-neutrino correlation coefficient (a) in nuclear beta decay, together with the Fierz interference term (b), provide a robust test for the existen…
Impact of the leading-order short-range nuclear matrix element on the neutrinoless double-beta decay of medium-mass and heavy nuclei
Lotta Jokiniemi, Pablo Soriano, Javier Menéndez
We evaluate the leading-order short-range nuclear matrix element for the neutrinoless double-beta () decay of the nuclei most relevant for experiments, including Ge, $…
Testing the Inverted Neutrino Mass Ordering with Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay
Matteo Agostini, Giovanni Benato, Jason A. Detwiler +2
We quantify the extent to which future experiments will test the existence of neutrinoless double-beta decay mediated by light neutrinos with inverted-ordered masses. While it rema…
decay as a probe of neutrinoless decay nuclear matrix elements
B. Romeo, J. Menéndez, C. Peña
We study double gamma () decay nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) for a wide range of nuclei from titanium to xenon, and explore their relation to neutrinoless double-beta ()…
Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering: EFT analysis and nuclear responses
Martin Hoferichter, Javier Menéndez, Achim Schwenk
The cross section for coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CENS) depends on the response of the target nucleus to the external current, in the Standard Model (SM) media…
Shell evolution of isotones towards Ca: First spectroscopy of Ti
M. L. Cortés, W. Rodriguez, P. Doornenbal +81
Excited states in the isotone Ti were populated via the VTi reaction at 200~MeV/u at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory and studied usin…
Study of the effects of radiation on the CMS Drift Tubes Muon Detector for the HL-LHC
G. Abbiendi, J. Alcaraz Maestre, A. Álvarez Fernández +140
The CMS drift tubes (DT) muon detector, built for withstanding the LHC expected integrated and instantaneous luminosities, will be used also in the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) at…
Dark-matter-nucleus scattering in chiral effective field theory
Martin Hoferichter, Philipp Klos, Javier Menéndez +1
Chiral effective field theory allows one to calculate the response of few-nucleon systems to external currents, both for currents that can be probed in the Standard Model and ones…
Nuclear structure factors for general spin-independent WIMP-nucleus scattering
Martin Hoferichter, Philipp Klos, Javier Menéndez +1
We present nuclear structure factors that describe the generalized spin-independent coupling of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) to nuclei. Our results are based on sta…
Two-neutrino double electron capture on Xe based on an effective theory and the nuclear shell model
E. A. Coello Pérez, J. Menéndez, A. Schwenk
We study the two-neutrino double electron capture on Xe based on an effective theory (ET) and large-scale shell model calculations, two modern nuclear structure approaches…
Is it possible to study neutrinoless decay by measuring double Gamow-Teller transitions?
Javier Menéndez, Noritaka Shimizu, Kentaro Yako
Searches of neutrinoless double-beta decay require information on the value of the nuclear matrix elements that rule the process to plan and interpret experiments. At present, howe…
Gamow-Teller and double-beta decays of heavy nuclei within an effective theory
Eduardo Antonio Coello Pérez, Javier Menéndez, Achim Schwenk
We study decays within an effective theory that treats nuclei as a spherical collective core with an even number of neutrons and protons that can couple to an additional neutro…
What do we know about neutrinoless double-beta decay nuclear matrix elements?
J. Menéndez
The detection of neutrinoless double-beta decay will establish the Majorana nature of neutrinos. In addition, if the nuclear matrix elements of this process are reliably known, the…
Analysis strategies for general spin-independent WIMP-nucleus scattering
Martin Hoferichter, Philipp Klos, Javier Menéndez +1
We propose a formalism for the analysis of direct-detection dark-matter searches that covers all coherent responses for scalar and vector interactions and incorporates QCD constrai…

The very neutron-rich oxygen isotopes 25O and 26O are investigated experimentally and theoret- ically. In this first R3B-LAND experiment, the unbound states are populated at GSI vi…
Spin-dependent WIMP scattering off nuclei
J. Menendez, D. Gazit, A. Schwenk
Chiral effective field theory (EFT) provides a systematic expansion for the coupling of WIMPs to nucleons at the momentum transfers relevant to direct cold dark matter detection. W…
