Description
Neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay is a hypothetical process of crucial interest due to its sensitivity both to the neutrino mass scale and to lepton-number violation. The precision of searches for the decay is largely constrained by disagreement between different many-body models for their nuclear matrix elements (NMEs), due in part to the large nuclei involved and the presence of correlated nucleon states. This talk will give an overview of two parallel strands of research: 1) a computational study of the impact of correlated NME errors on future 0νββ searches, via Bayesian methodologies; and 2) an analysis of corrections to a known leading-order contact contribution (in chiral EFT) to the 0νββ transition operator, including from the gluon vacuum condensate and from inelastic intermediate nuclear states.
