Scientific paper

We report the results of laboratory tests of a pulse shape discrimination technique for reducing β--decay background in germanium detectors. The technique distinguishes single-site from multiple-site energy deposits in the detector through differences in the shape of the collected current pulse. At 816 keV, >~83% of single-site events can be rejected, while retaining ~70% of typical photon events.
