Abstract: We perform a complete one-loop Renormalization Group (RG) analysis of neutrinoless double-beta decays within the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). Although several effective operators do not contribute to these processes at tree level, we show that they can generate sizable contributions through operator mixing. By accounting for the full one-loop RG evolution within the SMEFT, we find that the resulting constraints provide the most stringent bounds on numerous dimension-seven operators, improving upon limits derived from meson decays. We also highlight the importance of contributions beyond the first leading logarithm, which can provide the leading effects for specific operators and flavor combinations.
