Improvement of the energy resolution via an optimized digital signal processing in GERDA Phase I

et al.
Abstract

An optimized digital shaping filter has been developed for the Gerda experiment which searches for neutrinoless double beta decay in 76$$^{76}$$Ge. The Gerda Phase I energy calibration data have been reprocessed and an average improvement of 0.3 keV in energy resolution (FWHM) corresponding to 10 % at the Q$$Q$$ value for 0νββ$$0 u \beta \beta $$ decay in 76$$^{76}$$Ge is obtained. This is possible thanks to the enhanced low-frequency noise rejection of this Zero Area Cusp (ZAC) signal shaping filter.
