Scientific paper

A large-volume hyperpure-germanium detectors gamma-ray spectrometer in an NaI(Tl) well has been set up underground at 70 m.w.e. depth for whole body counting of cosmogenic radionuclides in meteorites. The detectors are housed in a 20-cm-thick lead shield with a lining of cadmium and OFHC copper. The scintillator is simultaneously operated in anticoincidence as well as in coincidence in selected energy channels to achieve low background levels (in the range of counts per day) and high specificity. In this way a large number of radionuclides such as Al-26, Ti-44, Co-60, Na-22, Mn-54, and shorter-lived nuclides produced in extraterrestrial materials like meteorites and lunar rocks can be analyzed. Results on Bouvante and Bereba achondrites and Dhajala and Torino chondrites are presented.
