Popis: | As experimental searches for neutrinoless double-beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay are entering a new generation, with hopes to completely probe the inverted mass hierarchy, the need for reliable nuclear matrix elements, which govern the rate of this decay, is stronger than ever. Since a large discrepancy in results is typically found with nuclear modela, a large unknown still exists on the sensitivity of these experiments to the effective neutrino mass. We consider this problem from a first-principles perspective, using the ab initio valence-space in medium similarity renormalization group. In particular, we study correlations of the $0\nu\beta\beta$-decay matrix elements in $^{76}$Ge with other observables, such as the double Gamow-Teller giant resonance, from 34 input chiral interactions in an attempt to constrain our uncertainties and investigate the interaction dependence of the nuclear matrix element.
