Abstract
In the present paper results of prolonging studies of variations of a natural gamma (X-ray) radiation during precipitations registered at cosmic ray station in Apatity are presented. To the present time in the complex installation realizing monitoring of the near ground radiation, the detector is added on the basis of a scintillation crystal by size Ø150×100 mm. The special procedure of working out of the differential energy spectra obtained on the basis of this detector is designed. Due to this it is found, that increases are produced by an additional flux of radiation with the non-regular descending energy spectrum superimposed on a background radiation, having a power law energy spectrum. The clear upper energy limit of the additional radiation, accompanying with precipitations, is observed. It is 1.8-2.0 MeV. Any spectral lines, which could be produced by radionuclides, are not revealed in all researched gamut. It is concluded that these fluxes are produced by energetic charged particles during their passage through the atmosphere, i.e. Bremsstrahlung generation process. Based on the energy balance, the minimum field strength, which can cause a secondary increase, was performed.
