Scientific paper

The Compton backscattering feature at approximately 150 keV from the Crab Nebula pulsar is evaluated in a picture where the 440 keV emission is interpreted as due to positron annihilation in the pulsar crust. Monte Carlo simulations indicate a broad feature the intensity of which is expected in the range 10-5 - 10-4 ph/sq cm/s. The possibility of detection of the feature is discussed.
