Nuclear matrix elements and phase-space factors are computed for 2ν and 0ν positron-emitting double-beta modes in three isotopes, yielding sensitivity to SMEFT lepton-number-violating operators at 1-100 TeV and showing multi-isotope measurements can break degeneracies.

abstract
A new mechanism for neutrinoless double beta ($\znbb$) decay based on leptoquark exchange is discussed. Due to the specific helicity structure of the effective four-fermion interaction this contribution is strongly enhanced compared to the well-known mass mechanism of $\znbb$ decay. As a result the corresponding leptoquark parameters are severely constrained from non-observation of $\znbb$-decay. These constraints are more stringent than those derived from other experiments.

Positron-Emitting and Electron-Capturing Double-Beta Processes in the Standard Model and Beyond
Nuclear matrix elements and phase-space factors are computed for 2ν and 0ν positron-emitting double-beta modes in three isotopes, yielding sensitivity to SMEFT lepton-number-violating operators at 1-100 TeV and showing multi-isotope measurements can break degeneracies.
