    Abstract Pulse shape discrimination is an important handle to improve sensitivity in low background experiments. A dedicated setup was built to investigate the response of high-purity germanium detectors to single Compton scattered events. Using properly collimated γ-ray sources, it is possible to select events with known interaction location. The aim is to correlate the position dependent signal shape with geometrical and electrical properties of the detector. We report on design and performance of the setup with a first look on data.

    Abstract The dead-layer uniformity of the top surface of two high purity germanium detectors has been studied using a novel automated scanning set-up that allows a fine-grained topography of a detector's top and lateral surfaces. Comparisons between measurements and Monte Carlo simulations allowed implementation of a dead-layer variation into the detector model, which reproduces the measurements results. The effect of the non-uniform dead-layer on activity determinations based on low-energy γ-rays (i.e. below ~100 keV) has been determined to be of the order of 10% or more.

    Abstract We present the measurement of the two-neutrino double-β decay rate of ^{76}Ge performed with the GERDA Phase II experiment. With a subset of the entire GERDA exposure, 11.8 kg yr, the half-life of the process has been determined: T_{1/2}^{2ν}=(2.022±0.018_{stat}±0.038_{syst})×10^{21}  yr. This is the most precise determination of the ^{76}Ge two-neutrino double-β decay half-life and one of the most precise measurements of a double-β decay process. The relevant nuclear matrix element can be extracted: M_{eff}^{2ν}=(0.101±0.001).

    Abstract Introduction: We investigated whether apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) could better identify patients with severe vessel damage than HDL-cholesterol in a population with recent acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
    Methods: One hundred and forty-one male patients (mean age: 54.3 +/- 7.3 years) who had undergone coronary angiography within 3 weeks of an AMI were studied. Coronary angiography data were evaluated both anatomically (as single, double or multivessel disease) and by means of the Gensini score. The main lipid parameters were evaluated on admission to the Coronary Care Unit.
    Results: ApoA1 and the ApoA1/ApoB ratio (A1/B) mean values were significantly (P < 0.05) different when patients were divided on the basis of HDL-cholesterol cut-off value (35.0 mg.dl-1); when divided on the basis of Gensini score (< or = 18 or > 18), there was a statistically significant difference for ApoA1 (P < 0.01), HDL-cholesterol and A1/B (P < 0.05): only this latter was able to discriminate between the two groups. The mean ApoA1 and A1/B (P < 0.01), Gensini score (P < 0.001) and total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol (P < 0.05) values of patients in the single-vessel disease group differ from those both of double- and multivessel disease groups. A1/B is also able to discriminate between single- and double-vessel disease.
    Discussion: Our results confirm that ApoA1 and ApoA1/ApoB ratio are better than HDL-cholesterol in assessing the severity of coronary damage.

    Abstract We present the first search for bosonic superweakly interacting massive particles (super-WIMPs) as keV-scale dark matter candidates performed with the GERDA experiment. GERDA is a neutrinoless double-β decay experiment which operates high-purity germanium detectors enriched in ^{76}Ge in an ultralow background environment at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) of INFN in Italy. Searches were performed for pseudoscalar and vector particles in the mass region from 60  keV/c^{2} to 1  MeV/c^{2}. No evidence for a dark matter signal was observed, and the most stringent constraints on the couplings of super-WIMPs with masses above 120  keV/c^{2} have been set. As an example, at a mass of 150  keV/c^{2} the most stringent direct limits on the dimensionless couplings of axionlike particles and dark photons to electrons of g_{ae}<3×10^{-12} and α^{'}/α<6.5×10^{-24} at 90% credible interval, respectively, were obtained.
