Abstract

The installation of a multi-sample beta-gamma coincidence spectrometer in an underground laboratory with a rock covering of 47 m yielded further background reduction by factors of between 10 (at 2 MeV) and about 4 (below 1 MeV). In silicon samples Fe can be measured by neutron activation analysis with a detection limit of 40 pg.
