I. INTRODUCTION
For some period of time we have had underway an extensive programming and
data reduction effort with the goal of producing background predictions
for use in correcting Copernicus data. In this memo we describe
the present state of this work.
This report discusses the data reduction procedures (§ II); the results, including typical
background count behavior for the six tubes (§
III); and the possible sources of the background counts in light of
the characteristics of the individual tubes (§
IV).
