Neutrinoless double beta decay: searching for new physics with comparison of different nuclei

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-06-03 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

The neutrinoless double beta decay is analyzed using a general Lorentz invariant effective Lagrangian for various decaying nuclei of current experimental interest: 76^{76}Ge, 82^{82}Se, 100^{100}Mo, 130^{130}Te, and 136^{136}Xe. We work out the half-lives and angular correlation coefficients of the outgoing electrons in several scenarios for new physics: the left-right symmetric models, the R-parity-violating SUSY and models with leptoquarks. The theoretical uncertainty in the nuclear matrix elements is discussed.
