GERDA calibration paper published

The GERDA collaboration has published a detailed description of the calibration process and the associated data analysis of the full GERDA dataset needed for the neutrinoless double-beta decay (0νββ) search (see publication)

Preserving the excellent resolution of the operated germanium detectors when combining data over several years, both calibration procedure and associated analysis, performed by our group, were important tasks in obtaining the most stringent lower limit of 1.8x1026 yr on the half-life of 0νββ in any isotope in the field.
