Brodzinski, H. Miley, J. Reeves, F. Avignone III] A summary of sources of background affecting gamma-ray spectrometers and methods for eliminating each are discussed, along with practical cost/benefit ratios. Background contributed by samples generally defines practical levels for system background. The practical bottom line can be obtained for relatively modest costs. A realistic bottom line is attained in underground systems when the major contributions to the background come from cosmogenically produced68Ge and double-beta decay of76Ge in the detector. The true bottom line is reached with isotopically enriched detectors that eliminate these two chemically inseparable radioactive impurities. Data from isotopically enriched detectors are presented.
