Description
The background induced by radioactive impurities of 208Tl and 214Bi in the source of the double beta experiment NEMO-3 has been investigated. New methods of data analysis which decrease the background from the above-mentioned contamination are identified. The techniques can also be applied to other double beta decay experiments capable of measuring independently the energies of the two electrons
