Description
The GERDA experiment for the search of neutrinoless double beta
decay at LNGS in Italy has taken more than 20 kg yr of data with
HPGe detectors enriched in the double beta emitting isotope 76Ge
with a unprecedented background index.
A short introduction - motivating the experiment and explaining
the hardware setup - will be given. The most important run parameters
and the observed background spectrum will be discussed in some detail.
The pulse shape discrimination methods used in the 0vbb analysis will
be explained. The data from the energy region of interest will be
shown and implications of the results will be discussed.
