Abstract
- The uncertainty in the nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) of $0\nu\beta\beta$ decay for $^{76}$Ge, $^{82}$Se, $^{128}$Te, $^{130}$Te, and $^{136}$Xe in the self-consistent quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA) method is investigated by using eighteen Skyrme interactions supplemented with either a volume- or surface-type of pairing interactions. The NMEs for the isotopes concerned (except $^{136}$Xe) are less sensitive to the particle-hole ($ph$) interactions, while strongly dependent on the employed isovector particle-particle ($pp$) pairing interactions even though the pairing strengths are optimized to the same pairing gap. The results indicate that a precise determination of the isovector $pp$ pairing interaction in the Skyrme energy density functional is of importance to reduce the uncertainty in the NMEs within the QRPA framework.<br />Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures
