Correlations and neutrinoless $\beta \beta$ decay nuclear matrix elements of $pf$-shell nuclei

Javier Menéndez, Tomas R. Rodríguez, Gabriel Martínez-Pinedo +1

We calculate the nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) for neutrinoless double-beta decays ($0\nu \beta \beta$) of $pf$-shell nuclei using the shell model (SM) and energy density functional (EDF) met…
