We revisit the mechanism of neutrinoless double beta (NLDBD) decay mediated by the exchange with the heavy Majorana neutrino N of arbitrary mass mN, slightly mixed with the electron neutrino. By assuming the dominance of this mechanism, we update the well-known NLDBD-decay exclusion plot in the mass-mixing angle plane taking into account recent progress in the calculation of nuclear matrix elements within quasiparticle random phase approximation and improved experimental bounds on the NLDBD-decay half-life of Ge-76 and Xe-136. We also consider the known formula approximating the mN dependence of the NLDBD-decay nuclear matrix element in a simple explicit form. We analyze its accuracy and specify the corresponding parameters, allowing one to easily calculate the NLDBD-decay half-life for arbitrary mN for all the experimentally interesting isotopes without resorting to real nuclear structure calculations.

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The short-range nuclear contact term in neutrinoless double beta decay depends on sterile neutrino mass more strongly than previously assumed, lengthening predicted half-lives by up to about a factor of six.

    A three-loop inverse scotogenic seesaw with residual Z2⊗Z3 yields viable multi-component dark matter and approximate resonant leptogenesis while fitting neutrino and CLFV bounds.

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Chiral EFT corrections to the 2νββ electron spectrum from weak magnetism and pion exchange appear at next-to-leading order and must be included in searches for new physics.

    Cylinder frame operators for Bernoulli Cantor measures converge in norm to a compact positive operator uniquely characterized by a first-level self-similar fixed-point identity and a scalar resolvent renormalization formula.

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Radiative corrections to neutrino masses can increase the e−e− → W−W− cross section by about 15% for TeV-scale heavy neutral leptons.
