Gamow-Teller excitations and beta-decay are studied within the subtracted second random-phase approximation (SSRPA), based on Skyrme functionals.. The comparison with the conventional random-phase approximation (RPA) results and experimental data is discussed, showing the improvement obtained within the SSRPA. In particular, it is found that the amount of Gamow-Teller strength obtained in...
Neutrinoless double-beta decay, a sought-after process in which two nucleons in a nucleus beta-decay simultaneously without emitting neutrinos, is a promising probe for physics beyond the Standard Model. It would not only demonstrate lepton-number violation but also shed light on the unknown nature of neutrinos. However, extracting the interesting physics from experiments requires knowledge on...
The Projected Generator Coordinate Method (PGCM) is a powerful and versatile many-body method that has been used for decades to study low-energy nuclear structure. In particular, the PGCM is particularly well suited to describe collective nuclear phenomena such as deformation or pairing. Also, a great strength of the method is the proper treatment of quantum numbers associated with the...
