We show that, within the quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA) and renormalized QRPA (RQRPA) based on Bonn-CD nucleon-nucleon interaction, competition between pairing neutron-proton particle-particle particle-hole interactions causes contributions to neutrinoless double-beta decay matrix element nearly vanish at internucleon distances of more than 2 or 3 fermis. As a result, is sensitive short-range/high-momentum physics one naively expects. analyze various ways treating that...
Within the quasiparticle random-phase approximation (QRPA) we achieve partial restoration of isospin symmetry and hence fulfillment requirement that $2\ensuremath{\nu}\ensuremath{\beta}\ensuremath{\beta}$ Fermi matrix element ${M}_{F}^{2\ensuremath{\nu}}$ vanishes, as it should, unlike in previous version method. This is accomplished by separating renormalization parameter ${g}_{pp}$ particle-particle proton-neutron interaction into isovector isoscalar parts. The ${g}_{pp}^{T=1}$ needs to be...

The observation of neutrinoless double beta decay will have important consequences. First it signal that lepton number is not conserved and the neutrinos are Majorana particles. Second, represents our best hope for determining absolute neutrino mass scale at level a few tens meV. To achieve last goal, however, certain hurdles to be overcome involving particle, nuclear experimental physics. Particle physics since provides mechanisms decay. In this review we emphasize light mechanism. Nuclear...
We have examined the importance of momentum-dependent-induced nucleon currents such as weak-magnetism and pseudoscalar couplings to amplitude neutrinoless double beta decay $(0\ensuremath{\nu}\ensuremath{\beta}\ensuremath{\beta}$ decay) in mechanisms light heavy Majorana neutrino, well that Majoron emission. Such effects are expected occur all nuclear models direction reducing neutrino matrix elements by about $30%.$ To test this we performed a calculation experimentally interesting nuclei...

The possibility to probe new physics scenarios of light Majorana neutrino exchange and right-handed currents at the planned next generation neutrinoless double beta decay experiment SuperNEMO is discussed. Its ability study different isotopes track outgoing electrons provides means discriminate underlying mechanisms for by measuring half-life electron angular energy distributions.
The nuclear matrix elements $M^{0\nu}$ of the neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) are evaluated for $^{76}$Ge,$^{100}$Mo, $^{130}$Te, and $^{136}$Xe within Renormalized Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation (RQRPA) simple QRPA. Three sets single particle level schemes used, ranging in size from 9 to 23 orbits. When strength particle-particle interaction is adjusted so that $2\nu\beta\beta$ rate correctly reproduced, resulting values become essentially independent on basis,...
Observing double beta decay with no neutrinos in the final state, would signal existence of lepton number violating processes and hint at neutrino being a Majorana particle. The impressive effort represented by NEMO-3 experiment sets important constraints on mass lepton-number processes.
Neutrinos, and in particular their tiny but non-vanishing masses, can be considered one of the doors towards physics beyond Standard Model. Precision measurements kinematics weak interactions, 3H β-decay 163Ho electron capture (EC), represent only model independent approach to determine absolute scale neutrino masses. The experiment, ECHo, is designed reach sub-eV sensitivity on mass by means analysis calorimetrically measured spectrum nuclide 163Ho. maximum energy available for this decay,...
The Baikal-GVD neutrino telescope collaboration reports observing the diffuse cosmic flux. Relying on cascade events produced predominantly by electron and tau neutrinos, they observe a significant excess of over what is expected from atmospheric background. power law fit flux observation itself are consistent with independent confirmation landmark results IceCube.

By assuming dominance this mechanism, we update well-known $0\ensuremath{\nu}\ensuremath{\beta}\ensuremath{\beta}$-decay exclusion plot in ${m}_{N}\ensuremath{-}{U}_{\mathit{eN}}$ plane taking into account recent...
In the search for nuclide with largest probability neutrinoless double-electron capture, we have determined Q(ϵϵ) value between ground states of (152)Gd and (152)Sm by Penning-trap mass-ratio measurements. The new 55.70(18) keV results in a half-life 10(26) yr 1 eV neutrino mass. With this smallest among known 0νϵϵ transitions, is promising candidate capture.
