      abstract     = {The Germanium Detector Array (Gerda) experiment is
                      searching for the neutrinoless double beta decay of
                      $^{76}$Ge. The observation of this Beyond the Standard Model
                      process would prove the existence of a neutrino Majorana
                      mass component and provide information on the neutrino mass
                      hierarchy and absolute mass scale. {\sc Gerda} operates
                      enriched germanium diodes, acting simultaneously as the
                      source and detector material, directly submerged in liquid
                      argon. Phase I achieved the world's best lower limit of
                      $T^{\,0\nu\beta\beta}_{1/2}>2.1\cdot10^{25}$~yr (90\\%
                      C.L.). With the recent completion of the upgrade to Phase
                      II, an additional 20~kg of germanium detectors -- for a
                      total of 35~kg -- and a liquid argon veto system have been
                      implemented. The goal is an order of magnitude lower
                      background with a projected sensitivity of
                      $1.4\cdot10^{26}$~yr for $T^{\,0\nu\beta\beta}_{1/2}$.},
