Abstract

The underground laboratory of the CINR with 125 metres water equivalent (mwe) is used mainly for activation analysis of pure materials. Background spectra of NaI(Tl) and Ge(Li) detectors are discussed in comparison with those of other underground laboratories. Detection limits are calculated as disintegration rates to about 15 mBq as well as masses detectable by neutron activation analysis for some 50 elements, most of them below pg.
