Scientific paper

The Kosmos-461 satellite carried experiments to study the diffuse background of X rays and gamma rays in the range 28 keV-4.1 MeV. The procedures developed for eliminating the influence of atmospheric radiation and of radioactivity induced in the detector by cosmic rays are described. It is concluded that the diffuse background can not be represented by a single law in the range investigated. Measurements by Apollo 15 and high-altitude balloons are judged to overestimate the gamma-ray flux in the 10-30 MeV range.
