Abstract A rocket measurement of the X-ray cosmic diffuse background is presented. The data, that can be fitted to a power law 47E −2.1±0.25 photons (cm2 s sr keV)−1, were obtained with detectors of different apertures. The result is compared to a previous rocket measurement where a screened detector had been used to evaluate the instrumental background. Results are in substantial agreement.
