We study the decomposition of a multivariate Hankel matrix H_$sigma$ as a sum of Hankel matrices of small rank in correlation with the decomposition of its symbol $sigma$ as a sum of polynomial-exponential series. We present a new algorithm to compute the low rank decomposition of the Hankel operator and the decomposition of its symbol exploiting the properties of the associated Artinian Gorenstein quotient algebra A_$sigma$. A basis of A_$sigma$ is computed from the Singular Value Decomposition of a sub-matrix of the Hankel matrix H_$sigma$. The frequencies and the weights are deduced from the generalized eigenvectors of pencils of shifted sub-matrices of H $sigma$. Explicit formula for the weights in terms of the eigenvectors avoid us to solve a Vandermonde system. This new method is a multivariate generalization of the so-called Pencil method for solving Prony-type decomposition problems. We analyse its numerical behaviour in the presence of noisy input moments, and describe a rescaling technique which improves the numerical quality of the reconstruction for frequencies of high amplitudes. We also present a new Newton iteration, which converges locally to the closest multivariate Hankel matrix of low rank and show its impact for correcting errors on input moments.
