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…

Limit on the Radiative Neutrinoless Double Electron Capture of Ar from GERDA Phase I

M. Agostini, M. Allardt, A. M. Bakalyarov +115

Neutrinoless double electron capture is a process that, if detected, would give evidence of lepton number violation and the Majorana nature of neutrinos. A search for neutrinoless…
