Nuclear Matrix Elements for Double-Beta Decay
Nuclear Theory
2015-11-11 v1
Abstract
Recent progress in nuclear-structure theory has been dramatic. I describe recent and future applications of ab initio calculations and the generator coordinate method to double-beta decay. I also briefly discuss the old and vexing problem of the renormalization of the weak nuclear axial-vector coupling constant "in medium" and plans to resolve it.
