Description
The GERDA collaboration has recently unblinded data of Phase I.
In order to further improve the sensitivity of the experiment,
additionaly to the coaxial detectors used in GERDA Phase I 30
BEGe detectors made from germanium enriched in Ge-76 will be
deployed. BEGe detectors have superior PSD capability, thus the background can be further reduced.
The liquid argon surrounding the detector array will be instrumented in order to reject background by
detecting scintillation light induced in the liquid argon
by radiation.
The hardware preparations for GERDA phase II as well as the
processing and characterization of the 30 BEGe
detectors will be discussed.
