Abstract

Cosmogenic Be can provide a substantial background to low threshold and low counting rate scintillation detectors such as the Borexino solar neutrino detector. The efficacy of various ⁷Be removal techniques is examined. Distillation appears to be the best with a reduction factor of at least 1000 per stage.
