Scientific paper

It is argued that the efficiency of particle acceleration in the Cyg X-3 system can be determined from observations. Direct interpretation of the observed gamma radiation at more than 1 trillion eV shows that the luminosity in high-energy particles more than 1 trillion is comparable to the total luminosity of the system. It is concluded that the particles are accelerated with an efficiency of order unity.
