We approach the calculation of the nuclear matrix element of the neutrinoless double-beta decay process, considering the light-neutrino-exchange channel, by way of the realistic shell model. To this end, we start from a realistic…
We use diagrammatic perturbation theory to construct an effective shell-model operator for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of 82Se. The starting point is the same Bonn-C nucleon-nucleon interaction that is used to generate the…
We study the effective operators of the standard model fields which would yield an observable rate of neutrinoless double beta decay. We particularly focus on the possibility that neutrinoless double beta decay is dominantly induced by…
Neutrinoless double beta decay can significantly help to shed light on the issue of non-zero neutrino mass, as observation of this lepton number violating process would imply neutrinos are Majorana particles. However, the underlying…

Neutrinoless double beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay is the most promising way to determine whether neutrinos are Majorana particles. There are many experiments based on different isotopes searching for $0\nu\beta\beta$ decay. Combining the…
Two-neutrino double-beta ($2\nu\beta\beta$) decay has been used to constrain the neutron-proton part of effective interactions, which in turn is used to compute the nuclear matrix elements for neutrinoless double-beta decay, the observation…
Neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) is a crucial test for lepton number violation. Observation of this process would have fundamental implications for neutrino physics, theories beyond the Standard Model and cosmology.…
Study of the neutrinoless $\beta\beta$ decay allows us to put a stringent limit on the effective neutrino Majorana mass, a quantity of fundamental importance. To test our ability to evaluate the nuclear matrix elements that govern the decay…
We discuss the possibilities of distinguishing among different mechanisms of neutrinoless double beta decay arising in the effective field theory framework. Following the review and detailed investigation of the particular ways of…
For the first time, the calculation of the nuclear matrix element of the double-$\beta$ decay of $^{100}$Mo, with and without the emission of two neutrinos, is performed in the framework of the nuclear shell model. This task is accomplished…
To extract information about the neutrino properties from the study of neutrinoless double-beta (0\nu\beta\beta) decay one needs a precise computation of the nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) associated with this process. Approaches based on…
The aim of this work is to present an overview of the derivation of the effective shell-model Hamiltonian and decay operators within many-body perturbation theory, and to show the results of selected shell-model studies based on their…
We discuss the systematic decomposition of the dimension nine neutrinoless double beta decay operator, focusing on mechanisms with potentially small contributions to neutrino mass, while being accessible at the LHC. We first provide a (d=9…
The neutrinoless double beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay process could provide crucial information to determine the absolute scale of the neutrino masses, and it is the only one that can establish whether neutrino is a Dirac or a Majorana…
We use the generator-coordinate method with realistic shell-model interactions to closely approximate full shell-model calculations of the matrix elements for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of $^{48}$Ca, $^{76}$Ge, and $^{82}$Se. We…
