Scientific paper

Using the results of an 80 keV-8 MeV gamma ray balloon experiment, the spectrum of the galactic disk emission between -45 deg less than l(II) less than 45 deg was obtained, which can be described by a power law spectrum suggested by Gilman et al. (1978). Compatibility between this result and that of Haymes et al. (1975) requires that the line emission be located in a zone of -12 deg less than l(II) less than 12 deg. Also obtained were a 1 sigma upper limit to the 0.511 MeV line of 0.0097 photons/sq cm sec, and a 2 sigma upper limit to the 4.43 MeV line of 0.002 photons/sq cm sec. Attention is given to an analysis of the continuum emission in the MeV region which allows a determination of the bremsstrahlung contribution to this emission, found using the standard spectrum to be 9.9 x 10 to the -5th photons/sq cm sec rad MeV between 1.4 and 3 MeV.
