Neutrinoless double beta decay is a process that violates lepton number conservation. It predicted to occur in extensions of the standard model particle physics. This Letter reports results from phase I Germanium Detector Array (GERDA) experiment at Gran Sasso Laboratory (Italy) searching for neutrinoless isotope $^{76}\mathrm{Ge}$.
