Title: Improvement of the energy resolution via an optimized digital signal processing in GERDA Phase I

Abstract

An optimized digital shaping filter has been developed for the Gerda experiment which searches for neutrinoless double beta decay in $$^{76}$$Ge. The Gerda Phase I energy calibration data have been reprocessed and an average improvement of 0.3 keV in energy resolution (FWHM) corresponding to 10% at the $$Q$$ value for $$0\nu \beta \beta $$0νββ decay in $$^{76}$$Ge is obtained. This is possible thanks to the enhanced low-frequency noise rejection of this Zero Area Cusp (ZAC) signal shaping filter.

Pulse shape discrimination for Gerda Phase I data

Journal Article Agostini, M. ; Allardt, M. ; Andreotti, E. ; ... - European Physical Journal. C, Particles and Fields

The GERDA experiment located at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso of INFN searches for neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay of ⁷⁶Ge using germanium diodes as source and detector. In Phase I of the experiment eight semi-coaxial and five BEGe type detectors have been deployed. The latter type is used in this field of research for the first time. All detectors are made from material with enriched ⁷⁶Ge fraction. The experimental sensitivity can be improved by analyzing the pulse shape of the detector signals with the aim to reject background events.

Status of the GERDA Phase II upgrade

Journal Article Wagner, Victoria - AIP Conference Proceedings

The GERDA experiment is designed to search for neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay of {sup 76}Ge. In Phase I of the experiment a background index of 10{sup −2} cts/(keV·kg·yr) was reached. A lower limit on the half-life of the 0νββ decay of {sup 76}Ge was set to 2.1·10{sup 25} yr (at 90% C.L.). The aim of Phase II is to reach a sensitivity of the half-life of about 10{sup 26} yr. To increase the exposure thirty new Broad Energy Germanium (BEGe) detectors have been produced. These detectors are distinct for their improved energy resolution and enhanced pulse shape discrimination ofmore »« less

Investigation of ASIC-based signal readout electronics for LEGEND-1000

Journal Article Edzards, F. ; Willers, M. ; Alborini, A. ; ... - Journal of Instrumentation

LEGEND, the Large Enriched Germanium Experiment for Neutrinoless ββ Decay, is a ton-scale experimental program to search for neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay in the isotope ⁷⁶Ge with an unprecedented sensitivity. Building on the success of the low-background ⁷⁶Ge-based GERDA and Majorana Demonstrator experiments, the LEGEND collaboration is targeting a signal discovery sensitivity beyond 10²⁸ yr on the decay half-life with approximately 10 t∙yr of exposure. Signal readout electronics in close proximity to the detectors plays a major role in maximizing the experiment's discovery sensitivity by reducing electronic noise and improving pulse shape analysis capabilities for the rejection of backgrounds.more »« less

Results from phase I of the GERDA experiment

Journal Article Wester, Thomas - AIP Conference Proceedings

The GERmanium Detector Array Gerda at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso of the INFN in Italy is an experiment dedicated to the search for the neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay in {sup 76}Ge. The experiment employs high purity germanium detectors enriched in {sup 76}Ge inside a 64 m{sup 3} cryostat filled with liquid argon. Gerda was planned in two phases of data taking with the goal to reach a half-life sensitivity in the order of 10{sup 26} yr. Phase I of Gerda was running from November 2011 until May 2013. With about 18 kg total detector mass, data withmore »« less

Production, characterization and operation of $$^{76}$$Ge enriched BEGe detectors in GERDA

Journal Article Agostini, M. ; Allardt, M. ; Andreotti, E. ; ... - European Physical Journal. C, Particles and Fields

The GERmanium Detector Array (Gerda) at the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory (LNGS) searches for the neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) of ⁷⁶Ge. Germanium detectors made of material with an enriched ⁷⁶Ge fraction act simultaneously as sources and detectors for this decay. During Phase I of theexperiment mainly refurbished semi-coaxial Ge detectors from former experiments were used. For the upcoming Phase II, 30 new 76 Ge enriched detectors of broad energy germanium (BEGe)-type were produced. A subgroup of these detectors has already been deployed in Gerda during Phase I. The present article reviews the complete production chain of these BEGe detectors including isotopic enrichment,more »« less
