Gamma-ray fluxesThe design and development of detectors to analyze gamma rays greater than 20 MeV are reported. Efforts were made to identify and verify the existence of galactic gamma radiation from the galactic disc, provide information on its spectral and spatial distribution, and determine the source of gamma ray emission from the galactic plane in the direction of the galactic center. Results verify the existence of gamma radiation from the galactic disc, indicate that limits are placed on the angular width of observed line intensity, and indicate a probable flattening of the energy below 100 MeV.
