Abstract

The Gerda experiment, located at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS), searches for the neutrinoless double beta decay of 76Ge. The experiment is using 36 kg of high-purity germanium detectors, simultaneously as source and detector, deployed into ultra-pure cryogenic liquid argon. Gerda is one the leading experiments in the field, reporting the highest sensitivity on the half-life of 0νββ decay with 1.1 · 1026 yr, the lowest background index with 6 · 10−4 cts/(keV·kg·yr) and an excellent energy resolution of 0.12% (FWHM). The experimental setup, the analysis procedures and the latest results of Gerda are summarized in the present work
