Elements shed from dying stars give rise to new stars, planets, and--perhaps--life.
Kortelainen, M. and Suhonen, J. Nuclear matrix elements of 0νββ decay with improved short-range correlations.
The Hamiltonian matrix elements were obtained in the numerical localized orbital basis set implementation39,40 within GGA.
We considered only correlation matrix elements that resulted in p < 0.05 in the hypothesis test.
We find that explicitly including the matrix elements does not qualitatively change the calculated QPI patterns.
An average was taken over the matrix elements for different Cu atoms in the supercell.
That is, we zero correlation matrix elements with non-reliable values (p ≥ 0.05).
This led to the so-called Sussex matrix elements, which have been widely applied by nuclear structure researchers.
For selected uncorrelated atomic configurations, dipole matrix elements were calculated using the prescription described in ref. 36.
The Hamiltonian matrix elements were obtained using models with periodic boundary conditions imposed both along and across the interface.
