Scientific paper

Preliminary results of two experiments concerning the diffuse component of cosmic X- and gamma-rays are presented: a rocket observation for the range 5 to 80 keV, and a balloon observation for the range 100 keV to 7.5 MeV. The shutter method provided for unambiguous subtraction of the environmental background. The energy spectrum of the diffuse component exhibits a significant change in slope near 22 keV. In the energy range 20 to 200 keV, the spectrum is well expressed by E to the -2.3 power, it seems to flatten above 500 keV, consistent with the possible presence of a bump in the MeV region.
