AbstraktAbstract

The neutrinoless double-beta decay (0v beta beta) nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) cannot be directly deduced from any experimental data, and their reliable calculation remains a significant challenge for the nuclear physics community. Advanced nuclear structure approaches have been developed and applied to evaluate nuclear transitions of experimental interest. However, the calculated values of 0v beta beta NMEs still vary widely among different methods, affecting predictions of decay rates and constraints on various lepton violation parameters. The two-neutrino double-beta (2v beta beta) decay, which has been experimentally confirmed for eleven isotopes, plays a crucial role in testing nuclear structure models. In this context, we present the modified formalism of the Second Tamm-Dancoff Approximation (STDA) for the calculation of double-beta decay transitions. For 2v beta beta of Ca-48, the corresponding NMEs are calculated within the STDA, and their dependence on relevant nuclear structure parameters is investigated. Our findings indicate that a significant quenching of the axial-vector coupling constant is necessary to accurately reproduce the half-life of 2v beta beta decay.
