The GERmanium Detector Array, Gerda, searches for neutrinoless double β decay in 76 Ge using bare high-purity germanium detectors submerged in liquid argon. For the calibration of these detectors γ emitting sources have to be lowered from their parking position on the top of the cryostat over more than 5m down to the germanium crystals. With the help of Monte Carlo simulations, the relevant...
The procurement of germanium-oxide (GeO2) depleted in 76Ge is presented. The quality control, the reduction and zone refinement as well as crystal pulling is described as new detection systems must be explored in order to reach the needs of modern rare event searches. The experiment GERDA aims at the detection of neutrinoless double beta (2β0ν) decay. The depleted germanium project aims at the demonstration...
