dc.descriptionTo reduce background in experiments looking for rare events, such as the GERDA double beta decay experiment, it is necessary to employ active background-suppression techniques. One of such techniques is the pulse shape analysis of signals induced by the interaction of radiation with the detector. Analysis of the time-development of the impulses can distinguish between an interaction of an electron and an interaction of a multiple-scattered photon inside the detector. This information can be used to eliminate background events from the recorded data. Results of pulse-shape analysis of signals from a commercially available broad-energy germanium detector are presented and the pulse-shape discrimination capability of such detector configuration for use in low-background experiments is discussed.
