Description

We report on the calculation of double-beta decay properties for nuclei around 132Sn within the framework of the realistic shell model. The effective shell-model Hamiltonian and transition operators are derived by way of many-body perturbation theory [1,2], without resorting to empirical effective quenching factors for the transition operators. We present the results for Gamow-Teller and two-teutrino double-beta decays, comparing them with the available experimental data [3]. This is crucial in order to establish the reliability of our approach to tackle the challenging neutrinoless double-beta decay problem. [1] L. Coraggio, A. Covello, A. Gargano, N. Itaco, and T. T. S.
