Identification of single events in the HPGe detector: Comparison of   various methods based on the analysis of simulated pulse shapes
  Various methods of identification of single events in the HPGe detector are compared on the basis of a program especially designed to simulate pulse shape in a semi-conductor germanium detector. Capabilities of three following methods are shown: (1) an application of the library of single pulse shapes, (2) the single-parameter method, and (3) a separation on the basis of artificial neural networks. The analysis was done in the context of an application of all above-mentioned techniques in the energy interval around the expected neutrino less double beta decay of Ge-76 in the Heidelberg-Moscow experiment.
