Nuclear matrix elements for double-β decay

  • 1. Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC 25999-3255 (United States)

Description

Recent progress in nuclear-structure theory has been dramatic. I describe applications in progress of ab inito calculations to double-beta decay, and discuss the recent and future application of generator-coordinate methods to the same problem. I also discuss the old and vexing problem of the renormalization of the weak nuclear axial-vector coupling constant "in medium" and plans to resolve it
