GERDA collaboration meeting in Zurich

From June 24 to June 26 we hosted the GERDA collaboration meeting in the Main Building of the University of Zurich.

The first two days were spent to discuss the status of the experiment and analysis work (summary of data taking, the calibration and energy scale, the background model and the pulse shape analysis) as well as exotic searches (e.g., searches for SuperWIMPs, or for a bosonic component of neutrinos). We also had a guest talk from Patricia Sanchez on neutrinoless double beta decay searches with DARWIN. The last day was dedicated to an in-depth analysis discussion and plans for the unblinding of the last GERDA data set in spring 2020. GERDA will end its last run in December 2019, when the works for LEGEND-200 at LNGS will start.  All the participants enjoyed a lovely dinner and boat cruise on Lake Zurich with MS Bachtel in the evening of June 24!
