Scientific paper

The present analysis deals with the behavior of the count rate of the Luna-22 onboard charged-particle detectors capable of recording protons with energies between 1 and 5 MeV, 5 and 16 MeV, 10 and 15 MeV, and greater than 30 MeV; alpha-particles with energies between 4.5 and 10 MeV; and beta-particles with energies greater than 0.6 and greater than 2.0 MeV. It is shown that the corpuscular albedo particles consist essentially of one component or a mixture of two components, namely: protons with energies above 30 MeV and beta-particles with energies greater than 2 MeV. The relative albedo flux at 220 km is roughly 7% of the galactic cosmic ray flux in interplanetary space.
