Scientific paper

Results are presented of an experiment to search for γ-ray lines from the Crab Nebula region in the energy range 50 - 2000 keV using a cooled intrinsic germanium detector in a sodium iodide anti-coincidence shield. Some evidence for line features is observed at 404.4 and 1049.6 keV with intensities at the top of the atmosphere of (7.2±2.1)×10-3 and (1.9±0.4)×10-2 photons cm-2 s-1 respectively. A line at 78.9 keV has also been detected which shows some variability with time.
