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 2 ν 1 / 2 = ( 2.022 ± 0.01 8 stat ± 0.03 8 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 2 ν eff = ( 0.101 ± 0.001 ) .
