Description

Xenon detector experiments have provided some of the most sensitive searches of physics beyond the standard model (BSM). These campaigns have placed emphasis on observing dark matter interactions and/or neutrinoless double beta decays (0ν2β). Several next-generation experiments aim to build on this work and probe for BSM physics with significantly improved sensitivity. In relation to the above, this talk will present results from recent two-nucleon transfer studies in the A = 136 region. The measurements are used to robustly test predictions made with Hamiltonians that are also used to evaluate the nuclear matrix element for 136Xe 0ν2β. Further implications concerning the detection of solar neutrinos and fermionic dark matter candidates in large xenon-based detectors will also be briefly presented.
