Abstract
We explore the influence of the deformation on the nuclear matrix elements of the neutrinoless double beta decay (NME), concluding that the difference in deformation ‐or more generally on the amount of quadrupole correlations‐ between parent and grand daughter nuclei quenchs strongly the decay. We discuss how varies the nuclear matrix element of 76Ge decay when the wave functions of the two nuclei involved in the transition are constrained to reproduce the experimental occupancies. In the Interacting Shell Model description the value of the NME is enhanced about 15% compared to previous calculations, whereas in the QRPA the NME’s are reduced by 20%–30%, thus, the discrepancies between both approaches diminish.
