Description

Astro-ν interactions are studied by inverse β decays and ν-properties beynod the standard model are studied by neutrinoless double beta decays (0νββ). The β and ββ nuclear matrix elements (NMES) consist mainly of the axial-vector spin (σ) isospin(τ) components, The delta-isobar (Δ) resonance excited by the quark τσ excitation of nucleon in the nucleus is shown to quench the axial-vector components of NMEs. The effects are evaluated by using experimental energies and the strengths of the Gamow-Teller (nuclear τσ) resonsnces. The quenching effect is incorpolated by the effective axial-vector coupling around gAeff 0.7±0.1 in units of gA for a free nucleon. Impact of the Δ resonsnce on neutrino studues in nuclei is discussed.
