Abstract:
The suppression of the internal detector background in 3He counters through pulse shape discrimination methods is becoming an area of interest for a growing number of experiments that want to detect low event rate signals. We discuss two discrimination methods for signals coming from high-pressure (thus high efficiency) 3He counters read out through charge sensitive preamplifiers. We present a digital filter to convert the integrated signal to a current pulse. The application of a discrimination method based on the peak shape suppresses the internal alpha-induced background by > 98.5%. In addition a semi-empirical model of the signal creation in 3He counters is presented and compared to experimental data.
