The neutrinoless double beta decay in the colored Zee-Babu model

We study the neutrinoless double beta decay in the colored Zee-Babu model. We consider three cases of the colored Zee-Babu model with a leptoquark and a diquark introduced. The neutrino masses are generated at two-loop level, and the constraints given by tree-level flavor violation processes and muon anomalous magnetic moment (g - 2)mu have been considered. In our numerical analysis, we find that the standard light neutrino exchange contribution can be canceled by new physics contribution under certain assumption and condition, leading to a hidden neutrinoless double beta decay. The condition can be examined comprehen-sively by future complementary searches with different isotopes.(c) 2022 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.
