Scientific paper

It is shown that the energy of cosmic rays supplied to the intergalactic medium from galaxies is an effective source of its heating. Under the conditions of the intergalactic medium, a non-Maxwellian distribution of the electron gas can be formed with the 'tail' of the distribution cut off. The interaction of the electrons with the cosmic rays cannot sustain the tail. The X-ray spectrum of the gas in the cluster A 2142 appears to reflect the deviation from the Maxwellian distribution.
