Recent theoretical results for 0νββ-decay including R0νECEC and 0νββM

The most recent (2015) results for 0νββ nuclear matrix elements in the interacting boson model (IBM-2) with light and heavy neutrino exchange, including R0νECEC, are given for all nuclei of interest from {sup 48}Ca to {sup 238}U. Predictions for half-lives and limits for average neutrino mass are also made. Possible additional scenarios, such as Majoron emission, is also discussed.

Recent developments in the theory of double beta decay

We report results of a novel calculation of phase space factors for 2νβ{sup +}β{sup +}, 2νβ{sup +}EC, 2νECEC, 0νβ{sup +}β{sup +}, and 0νβ{sup +}EC using exact Dirac wave functions, and finite nuclear size and electron screening corrections. We present results of expected half-lives for 0νβ{sup +}β{sup +} and 0νβ{sup +}EC decays obtained by combining the calculation of phase space factors with IBM-2 nuclear matrix elements.
