AB - G<span style="font-size:x-small">ERDA published the best limit on <sup>76</sup>Ge 0νββ decay's half-life of T<sub>1/2</sub><sup>0ν</sup> > 2.1·10<sup>25</sup>yr (90%C.L.) in 2013. Subsequently, exotic decay modes with Majoron emission were investigated obtaining half-life limits ∼ 10<sup>23</sup>yr for spectral indices n=1,2,3,7. The half-life measurement of 2νββ from <sup>76</sup>Ge to <sup>76</sup>Se g.s. was reevaluated with an uncertainty < 5% and decay modes to three <sup>76</sup>Se excited states were analyzed. The lower limits found, ∼ 10<sup>23</sup> yr, rule out a number of nuclear structure model predictions. In a recent major upgrade, amongst other, the detector mass was almost doubled and a new veto system, exploiting liquid argon scintillation light, was installed.
