Counting sensitivity for standardized Ge(Li) detectors has been determined for a large number of detector-sample geometries and counting conditions. It has been found that relatively simple systems can satisfy a majority of applications, thereby resulting in a favorable cost-effective approach to environmental measurements. Recommendations are made for the improvement of significant counting parameters for specific applications, resulting in the maximum counting capability for a given detector system. (auth)
