Resum
We study double gamma (γγ) decay nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) for a wide range of nuclei from titanium to xenon, and explore their relation to neutrinoless double-beta () NMEs. To favor the comparison, we focus on double-magnetic dipole transitions in the final ββ nuclei, in particular the γγ decay of the double isobaric analog of the initial ββ state into the ground state. For the decay with equal-energy photons, our large-scale nuclear shell model results show a good linear correlation between the γγ and NMEs. Our analysis reveals that the correlation holds for γγ transitions driven by the spin or orbital angular momentum due to the dominance of zero-coupled nucleon pairs, a feature common to decay. Our shell-model findings point out the potential of future γγ decay measurements to constrain NMEs, which are key to answer fundamental physics questions based on experiments.
