Isotensor Axial Polarizability and Lattice QCD Input for Nuclear Double-β Decay Phenomenology

The potential importance of short-distance nuclear effects in double-β decay is assessed using a lattice QCD calculation of the nn→pp transition and effective field theory methods. At the unphysical quark masses used in the numerical computation, these effects, encoded in the isotensor axial polariz...
