Scientific paper

Gamma-ray background spectra, obtained in the energy range from 45 keV to 10 MeV with the cooled high-resolution Ge spectrometer on the HEAO-3 satellite over a 50-day period in 1979-1980 are reported and analyzed. The instrument design and performance characteristics are reviewed; the data-analysis procedures are outlined; about 130 background lines are listed in a table with energies, count rates, and tentative identifications; and the spectra are presented graphically and discussed in detail.
