Abstract
A flexible program to calculate the pulse shapes from highly segmented HPGe detectors of various geometrical shapes has been developed. Signals origin ating from single points of interaction in both the quasi-true-coaxial and the closed-end part of the detector are discussed. In order to present the main features of these signals, we have introduced simplified characteristi c curves. These curves are analysed with regard to the application of pulse shape analysis for three-dimensional position determination in detectors f or a gamma -ray tracking array.
