Description
Using the ''Cosmos-731'' satellite with a gamma telescope and an acoustic spark chamber diffusive cosmic γ radiation in the 100-700 MeV range is investigated. The γ radiation intensity which is 2.5+-0.6x10-5 quanta x cm-2 x s-1 x sr-1 is determined. The dependence of the diffusive γ radiation intensity on the galaxial latitude is given. The γ quanta distribution in the Galaxy is homogeneous along the galaxial latitude. According to the least square method the index of integral exponential spectrum is found to be k-1=0.9+-0.3. In the total Galaxy region no local γ radiation sources with the flux exceeding 10-5 quantaxcm-2xs-1 is observed
