The CAT imaging telescope on the site on the former solar plant Themis in southern France has been observing gamma-rays from the BL Lac object Mkn501 above 250 GeV for more than 60 usuable hours on-source from March to October 1997. This source was in a state of high activity during all this period. By studying the correlation between the photons of different energies detected by the CAT imaging telescope and by the ASM/RXTE experiment (1.3-12.0 keV) on board the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer, we may constrain the mechanisms which could lead to the emission of these photons. Here we present the correlation and time lags derived from the light curves in several energy bands using different methods, and we propose models compatible with these observations.
