Papers from a December 2004 workshop examine techniques for measuring radioactivity at ultra low activity levels and study aspects of the development of low background detectors. Contributions are in sections on low radioactivity measurement facilities, low background counting techniques, screening facilities and low background detectors, low radioactivity detector components, reduced background air and purified noble gases, clean fabrication techniques, liquid scintillators, and simulations. A few specific topics are background models for muons and neutrons underground, and adsorption techniques for gas purification. Author index only.
