Abstract
Low counting rate experiments strongly depend on the background suppression during the measurement campaigns. In this work we present a novel Pulse Shape Discrimination methodology, based on digital filters, for high pressure \(^{3}\)He detectors read through charge sensitive preamplifiers. In addition, the preliminary results from a semi-empirical Monte Carlo model for these detectors are exhibited.
