Scientific paper

It is shown that when multiple scattering is taken into account, the spectrum of inverse Compton produced X-radiation differs from the single-scatter spectrum. The gamma ray fluxes in the 1 to 10 MeV region increase by a factor of about three over the single-scatter spectrum. The significance of this result with respect to the diffuse cosmic X-ray flux is discussed. It is concluded that in the inverse Compton model, the high energy excess depends on the existence of an electron flux sufficiently large to explain the observed diffuse X-ray flux at low energies, and on the existence of the electron spectrum down to energies of 10 MeV.
