This grant is to support the high resolution measurement of x and               gamma rays from both the sun and supernova 1987a on two balloons                which are to be launched from South Pole Station during the                     austral summer of 1989-1990.  The work has several goals:                                                                                                       1) To study nucleosynthesis in the supernova.                                                                                                                   2) To study electron and ion acceleration processes in solar                       flares.                                                                                                                                                      3) To search for cosmic gamma ray bursts, cyclotron radiation and                                                                                                  gravitationally red-shifted position annihilation lines.                                                                                                     The detectors are large, liquid nitrogen cooled, segmented                      germanium crystals.  They are actively shielded, and will provide               high resolution measurements from 15 keV to several MeV.  The                   balloon flights are expected to last for 5-20 days.  It is hoped,               but not required that the payloads can be recovered.  This                      proposal is a precursor to the solar flare studies that are                     expected to be proposed as part of the MAX '91 campaign.
