Background identification by digital pulse shape analysis
- 1. Max-Planck-Institut fuer Kernphysik, Heidelberg (Germany)
Description
Our work concerning digital pulse shape analysis consisted of two steps. A setup of two customary HP-germanium detectors was used to collect samples of pulses with different energies and well defined specifications. Those libraries were the basis for the development of a new approach to distinguish between pointlike and multiple scattered events. The new method was tested first in the low-level laboratory in Heidelberg. Then it was applied to one detector of the HEIDELBERG-MOSCOW ββ experiment. It was found that by identifying the multiple scattered events the background in the 0νββ region can be reduced by a factor of five. (orig.)
