Scientific paper

A generalized approach intended to estimate the total background level of a given telescope in a specified overall radiation environment is presented. The sources of background noise are reviewed to obtain a quantitative analysis of individual contributions from various irradiative particle fluxes. Data obtained indicate that the background noise spectra of a number of past missions are in good agreement with the computed values. Possible improvements of the sensitivity of future gamma-ray telescopes, in terms of the reduction of the backgroud noise, are discussed.
