- Abstract
Neutrinoless double beta decay is a hypothetical nuclear process actively developed both on theoretical and experimental grounds. In the present paper, we extend the idea discussed in [Phys. Rev. D, 89, 113005 (2014)] where a new channel of this decay has been proposed. In this scenario, neutrinos not only oscillate inside the nucleus but also interact with an external non-uniform magnetic field. We assume that the field rotates about the direction of motion of the neutrino and show that for a certain rotation speed the half-life of the 0ʋ2βdecay can be significantly shortened. While the presentation in the reference mentioned above was limited to a simplified two-neutrino case, in this work, we investigate the realistic three-neutrino case and perform a detailed numerical study of this process.
