Two neutrino double beta decay of $^{76}$Ge to excited states of $^{76}$Se has been studied using data from Phase I of the GERDA experiment. An array composed of up to 14 germanium detectors including detectors that have been isotopically enriched in $^{76}$Ge was deployed in liquid argon. The analysis of various possible transitions to excited final states is based on coincidence events between pairs of detectors where a de-excitation $gamma$ ray is detected in one detector and the two electrons in the other. No signal has been observed and an event counting profile likelihood analysis has been used to determine Frequentist 90,% C.L. bounds for three transitions: ${0^+_{rm g.s.}-2^+_1}$: $T^{2 u}_{1/2}>$1.6$cdot10^{23}$ yr, ${0^+_{rm g.s.}-0^+_1}$: $T^{2 u}_{1/2}>$3.7$cdot10^{23}$ yr and ${0^+_{rm g.s.}-2^+_2}$: $T^{2 u}_{1/2}>$2.3$cdot10^{23}$ yr. These bounds are more than two orders of magnitude larger than those reported previously. Bayesian 90,% credibility bounds were extracted and used to exclude several models for the ${0^+_{rm g.s.}-0^+_1}$ transition.

The GERDA collaboration is performing a search for neutrinoless double beta decay of ^{76}Ge with the eponymous detector. The experiment has been installed and commissioned at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso and has started operation in Novem
ber 2011. The design, construction and first operational results are described, along with detailed information from the R&D phase.
GERDA, the GERmanium Detector Array experiment, is a new double beta-decay experiment which is currently under construction in the INFN National Gran Sasso Laboratory (LNGS), Italy. It is implementing a new shielding concept by operating bare Ge diod
es - enriched in Ge-76 - in high purity liquid argon supplemented by a water shield. The aim of GERDA is to verify or refute the recent claim of discovery, and, in a second phase, to achieve a two orders of magnitude lower background index than recent experiments. The paper discusses motivation, physics reach, design and status of construction of GERDA, and presents some R&D results.
A search for neutrinoless $betabeta$ decay processes accompanied with Majoron emission has been performed using data collected during Phase I of the GERmanium Detector Array (GERDA) experiment at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso of INFN (Italy
). Processes with spectral indices n = 1, 2, 3, 7 were searched for. No signals were found and lower limits of the order of 10$^{23}$ yr on their half-lives were derived, yielding substantially improved results compared to previous experiments with $^{76}$Ge. A new result for the half-life of the neutrino-accompanied $betabeta$ decay of $^{76}$Ge with significantly reduced uncertainties is also given, resulting in $T^{2 u}_{1/2} = (1.926 pm 0.095)cdot10^{21}$ yr.
The GERDA experiment searches for the lepton number violating neutrinoless double beta decay of $^{76}$Ge ($^{76}$Ge $rightarrow$ $^{76}$Se + 2e$^-$) operating bare Ge diodes with an enriched $^{76}$Ge fraction in liquid argon. The exposure for BEGe-
type detectors is increased threefold with respect to our previous data release. The BEGe detectors feature an excellent background suppression from the analysis of the time profile of the detector signals. In the analysis window a background level of $1.0_{-0.4}^{+0.6}cdot10^{-3}$ cts/(keV$cdot$kg$cdot$yr) has been achieved; if normalized to the energy resolution this is the lowest ever achieved in any 0$ ubetabeta$ experiment. No signal is observed and a new 90 % C.L. lower limit for the half-life of $8.0cdot10^{25}$ yr is placed when combining with our previous data. The median expected sensitivity assuming no signal is $5.8cdot10^{25}$ yr.
The Majorana Demonstrator is a neutrinoless double-beta decay search consisting of a low-background modular array of high-purity germanium detectors, $sim2/3$ of which are enriched to 88% in $^{76}$Ge. The experiment is also searching for double-beta
decay of $^{76}$Ge to excited states (e.s.) in $^{76}$Se. $^{76}$Ge can decay into three daughter states of $^{76}$Se, with clear event signatures consisting of a $betabeta$-decay followed by the prompt emission of one or two $gamma$-rays. This results with high probability in multi-detector coincidences. The granularity of the Demonstrator detector array enables powerful discrimination of this event signature from backgrounds. Using 41.9~kg-y of isotopic exposure, the Demonstrator has set world leading limits for each e.s. decay of $^{76}$Ge, with 90% CL lower half-life limits in the range of $(0.75-4.0)times10^{24}$~y. In particular, for the $2 u$ transition to the first $0^+$ e.s. of $^{76}$Se, a lower half-life limit of $7.5times10^{23}$~y at 90% CL was achieved.
