Description
The search for neutrinoless double beta decay might be
the only window to observe lepton number violation and
is therefore considered to be of highest relevance.
The isotope 76Ge has historically been most important
for this search and the ongoing experiment GERDA
has the lowest background and best energy resolution of all experiments in the
field. The talk reviews the motivation, the current
status of experiments and future programs.
