An X-ray observation in the atmosphere during the August 7, 1972 solar flare

An observation carried out with a balloon-borne detector of an additional flux of secondary X-rays (E ≃ 30 keV) at large depths in the atmosphere is described. This excess is attributed to the emission of very hard X-rays during the solar flare of August 7, 1972. The propagation in the atmosphere of...
