GERDA Collaboration, K. -H. Ackermann, M. Agostini +136
The GERDA collaboration is performing a search for neutrinoless double beta decay of ^{76}Ge with the eponymous detector. The experiment has been installed and commissioned at the…
Flux Modulations seen by the Muon Veto of the GERDA Experiment
M. Agostini, M. Allardt, A. M. Bakalyarov +112
The GERDA experiment at LNGS of INFN is equipped with an active muon veto. The main part of the system is a water Cherenkov veto with 66~PMTs in the water tank surrounding the GERD…
The Performance of the Muon Veto of the GERDA Experiment
K. Freund, R. Falkenstein, P. Grabmayr +11
Low background experiments need a suppression of cosmogenically induced events. The GERDA experiment located at LNGS is searching for the neutrinless double beta decay of Ge…

Background free search for neutrinoless double beta decay with GERDA Phase II
M. Agostini, M. Allardt, A. M. Bakalyarov +113
The Standard Model of particle physics cannot explain the dominance of matter over anti-matter in our Universe. In many model extensions this is a very natural consequence of neutr…
Measurement of the half-life of the two-neutrino double beta decay of Ge-76 with the Gerda experiment
GERDA Collaboration, M. Agostini, M. Allardt +110
