Neutrino-less double beta decays (0), which violate the lepton number conservation law by ÁL ¼ 2, are of great interest for studying the fundamental properties of neutrinos beyond the standard electroweak theory. High-sensitivity 0 studies with mass sensitivities of the solar and atmosphericmasses are crucial for studying the Majorana nature of 's, the mass spectrum, the absolute -mass scale, the Majorana CP phases and other fundamental properties of neutrinos and weak interactions. Actually, high-sensitivity experiments of 0 are the unique and practical method for studying all these fundamental properties of neutrinos in the foreseeable future. On the basis of the recent oscillation studies, the effective mass sensitivity required for observing the 0 rate is of the order of the atmospheric mass scale of m A $ 50 meV in the case of the inverted mass hierarchy and of the order of the solar mass scale of m S $ 8 meV in the case of the normal hierarchy. The present detectors with sensitivities of 150 -300 meV are effective in the case of the quasi-degenerate mass spectrum. Future detectors with higher sensitivities of the orders of m A -m S , using different nuclei and methods (calorimetric, spectroscopic), are indispensable for establishing 0. Theoretical and experimental studies for evaluating nuclear matrix elements M 0 within 20 -30% are important for extracting the sensible mass from the 0 rate. Charge exchange reactions by means of nuclear, electron and probes provide useful data for M 0 . International collaboration for experimental and theoretical works are encouraged to perform next-generation experiments. High-sensitivity detectors can be used for studying rare nuclear processes such as solar 's, dark matter, charge nonconservation, and nucleon decays. This report is a brief review of double beta decays and neutrinos with emphasis on highsensitivity 0 studies for the Majorana mass.

The overlap of the excited states in quasiparticle random-phase approximation (QRPA) is calculated to simulate the overlap of the intermediate nuclear states of the double-β decay. Our basic idea is to use the like-particle QRPA with the aid of the closure approximation and calculate the overlap as rigorously as possible by making use of the explicit equation of the QRPA ground state. The formulation is shown in detail, and the mathematical properties of the overlap matrix are investigated. Two test calculations are performed for relatively light nuclei with the Skyrme and volume δ-pairing energy functionals. The validity of the truncations used in the calculation is examined and confirmed.
