Nuclear Matrix Elements of $0\nu\beta\beta$-Decay: Possible Test of the Calculations

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

A possible model independent test of the theoretically calculated nuclear matrix elements of 0νββ0\nu\beta\beta-decay is proposed. The test can be accomplished if 0νββ0\nu\beta\beta-decay of three (or more) nuclei is observed. The selection of the nuclei for the next generation of 0νββ0\nu\beta\beta-decay experiments should be done taking into account {\it also} considerations regarding the possibility to test the nuclear matrix element calculations.
