Scientific paper

Results are presented for a high-energy-resolution gamma-ray experiment in the upper atmosphere. This balloon experiment used a nitrogen-cooled Ge-Li detector, and its purpose was to search for gamma-ray lines between 400 keV and 8 MeV. Apart from the 511-keV annihilation line, a feature was detected that is attributed to the 6129-keV line from the second excited state of O-16. For this line, a flux of 0.0073 (plus or minus 0.0044) photon/sq cm s was found at ceiling altitude.
