Mitigation of $$^{42}$$ 42 Ar/$$^{42}$$ 42 K background for the GERDA Phase II experiment

Abstract Background coming from the $$^{42}$$ 42 Ar decay chain is considered to be one of the most relevant for the Gerda experiment, which searches for the neutrinoless double beta decay of $$^{76}$$ 76 Ge. The sensitivity strongly relies on the absence of background around the Q-value of the deca...
