Scientific paper

For the SMM (launch 14.2.80) a gamma ray detector was developed, manufactured and tested to measure solar high energetic gamma rays and neutron fluxes within the energy range 10-160 MeV, 4,43 MeV and 2,23 MeV. The main components of the sensor are 7 NaI crystals 3" x 3" and a CsI crystal 30 cm x 7.5 cm. The rejection of charged particles is done by two plastic scintillators and 4 CsI shields. From the beginning of the mission the experiment is working fully successful.
