Scientific paper

Based on the results of two balloon flights using omnidirectional gamma ray detectors, different aspects of atmospheric gamma rays equatorial latitudes in the energy interval of 0.3 to 4.5 MeV are investigated. The energy loss spectrum in this energy band is found to consist of a continuum and a photo peak at 0.51 MeV, in agreement with previous observations. A discussion of the spectral nature of this background and the observed lower intensities of both the continuum and the 0.51 MeV line with reference to observations at other latitudes is presented.
