Abstract
We examine the violation of the Pauli exclusion principle in the Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation (QRPA) calculation of the two-neutrino double beta decay matrix elements, which has its origin in the quasi-boson approximation. For that purpose we propose a new renormalized QRPA with proton-neutron pairing method (full-RQRPA) for nuclear structure studies, which includes ground state correlation beyond the QRPA. This is achieved by using of renormalized quasi-boson approximation, in which the Pauli exclusion principle is taken into account more carefully. The full-RQRPA has been applied to two-neutrino double beta decay of $^{76}Ge$, $^{82}Se$, $^{128}Te$ and $^{130}Te$. The nuclear matrix elements have been found significantly less sensitive to the increasing strength of particle-particle interaction in the physically interesting region in comparison with QRPA results. The strong differences between the results of both methods indicate that the Pauli exclusion principle plays an important role in the evaluation of the double beta decay. The inclusion of the Pauli principle removes the difficulties with the strong dependence on the particle-particle strength $g_{pp}$ in the QRPA on the two-neutrino double beta decay.
