SUMMARY:Heavy physics contributions to neutrinoless double beta decay from
  QCD - Nicolas Garron (Liverpool University)

DESCRIPTION:If observed\, neutrinoless double beta decay would reveal viol
 ations of symmetries fundamental to the Standard Model\, and would guarant
 ee that neutrinos have nonzero Majorana  mass. Relating nuclear decay rate
 s to beyond the Standard Model (BSM) theories requires detailed knowledge 
 of non-perturbative QCD effects. Using lattice QCD and taking advantage of
  effective field theory methods\, we compute the model-independent leading
 -order matrix elements of short-range operators\, which arise due to heavy
  BSM mediators\, that contribute to this decay.\nContributions from short-
 range operators may prove to be equally important to those from long-range
  Majorana neutrino exchange.\n\nThe slides of the presentation can be foun
