Scientific paper

In spring/summer 2006 the BL Lac object Mrk 421 reached its largest ever recorded flux in the X-rays, up to about one tenth of Crab in the 2.0-10.0 keV band, and showed a synchrotron SED peak at approximately 10 keV. We present results of a spectral analysis of three observations performed by the UVOT, the XRT and the BAT telescopes on board the SWIFT satellite. According to the widely accepted SSC scenario, the expected flux in the GLAST LAT instrument, for such a bright X-ray state, should result in a counting statistics sufficient for a determination of the gamma-ray spectral shape.
