Status and future of nuclear matrix elements for neutrinoless double-beta decay: a review

J Engel, J Menéndez - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
The nuclear matrix elements that govern the rate of neutrinoless double beta decay must be
accurately calculated if experiments are to reach their full potential. Theorists have been …
