Resumo

The IGEX experiment has been operating enriched germanium detectors in the Canfranc Underground Laboratory (Spain) in a search for the neutrinoless double decay of 76Ge. The implementation of pulse-shape discrimination techniques to reduce the radioactive background is described in detail. This analysis has been applied to a fraction of the IGEX data, leading to a rejection of ∼60% of their background, in the region of interest (from 2 to 2.5MeV), down to ∼0.09c/keVkgyr.
