Abstract
The Heidelberg-Moscow Experiment is presently the most sensitive
experiment looking for neutrinoless double-beta decay. Recently the
already very low background has been lowered by means of a Digital
Pulseshape Analysis using a one parameter cut to distinguish
between pointlike events and multiple scattered events. To use all the
information contained in a recorded digital pulse, we developed a new
technique for event recognition based on neural networks.
