In a long history of nuclear physics, double Gamow-Teller responses have been
hardly studied, at least experimentally. Existing data include half-lives of only ~10 double beta nuclei. This exhibits a striking contrast to the case of single Gamow-Teller responses where data of half-lives exist for more than 2000 nuclides together with cross section data of charge exchange reactions.

In order to get quantitative information on neutrino absolute mass scale from the possible measurement of the 0νββ decay half-lives, the knowledge of the Nuclear Matrix Elements (NME) involved in such transitions is mandatory. The use heavy-ion induced double charge exchange (DCE) reactions as tools towards the determination of information on the NME is one of the goals of the NUMEN [1]...

KamLAND-Zen is a double beta decay experiment with the enriched xenon-loaded liquid scintillator. Increasing the number of double beta-decay nucleus is a key to improve the sensitivity on the neutrinoless decay mode. Among a dozen of target nuclei, xenon gas is easily solved in the liquid scintillator by about 3 wt%, so the experiment with about 400 kg xenon (KamLAND-Zen 400) became feasible...

The NEXT program is developing the technology of high pressure xenon chamber TPCs with electroluminescent readout for neutrinoless double beta decay searches. In this talk I will present the current status of the project, which is operating a 10-kg demonstrator (NEXT-White) in the underground laboratory of Canfranc, in Spain, and starting the construction of a 100 kg detector (NEXT-100). I...
