Multi-Majoron Modes for Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay
read the original abstract
We construct two new classes of models for double beta decay, each of which leads to an electron spectrum which differs from the decays which are usually considered. One of the classes has a spectrum which has not been considered to date, and which is softer than the usual two-neutrino decay of the Standard Model. We construct illustrative models to show how other phenomenological bounds can be accommodated. We typically find that, although all other bounds can be satisfied, the predicted double-beta decay rate only in one class of these models is at best large enough to be just detectable in current experiments.

Probing Dark Sector Particles Coupling to Neutrinos with Double Beta Decay
Double beta decay experiments can constrain couplings of sub-MeV Majoron-like scalars to neutrinos at |a_ν| ≈ 2×10^{-6} through on- and off-shell production effects on the electron spectrum.
