Nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) play a central role in describing weak-interaction processes such as inverse beta decay (IBD) and neutrinoless double-beta decay (0νββ). These processes are essential for probing neutrino properties and exploring physics beyond the Standard Model. However, reliable determination of NMEs remains a major challenge in nuclear physics.
A novel experimental strategy seeks to constrain NMEs through the study of electromagnetic (EM) transitions from isobaric analog states (IAS), providing an indirect but powerful probe of the relevant nuclear structure components.
In this presentation, I will discuss the joint efforts of the LNL-CSIC group toward this goal, highlighting ongoing experiments, complementary methodological approaches, and the broader implications of this program for reducing theoretical uncertainties in NME calculations.
