Abstract
The average shape of the pulse in Barkhausen noise has been recently proposed as a tool to compare models and experiments. We compute theoretically the pulse shape of Barkhausen noise in a model describing the motion of a domain wall in an effective Brownian potential. In this framework, the pulse shape is related to the properties of the excursion of a random process in a $c\log(x)-kx$ potential. We record the Barkhausen noise in polycristalline ${FeSi}$ materials, and compare the pulse shape with the one predicted by the domain wall model.
