Comparison between variational Monte Carlo and shell model calculations of neutrinoless double beta decay matrix elements in light nuclei

Benchmark comparisons between many-body methods are performed to assess the ingredients necessary for an accurate calculation of neutrinoless double beta decay matrix elements. Shell model and variational Monte Carlo (VMC) calculations are carried out for A=10 and 12 nuclei. Different variational wa...
