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, $…
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 ()…
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…
Correlations and neutrinoless decay nuclear matrix elements of -shell nuclei
Javier Menéndez, Tomas R. Rodríguez, Gabriel Martínez-Pinedo +1
We calculate the nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) for neutrinoless double-beta decays () of -shell nuclei using the shell model (SM) and energy density functional (EDF) met…
Large-scale nuclear structure calculations for spin-dependent WIMP scattering with chiral effective field theory currents
P. Klos, J. Menéndez, D. Gazit +1
We perform state-of-the-art large-scale shell-model calculations of the structure factors for elastic spin-dependent WIMP scattering off 129,131Xe, 127I, 73Ge, 19F, 23Na, 27Al, and…
