| Abstract : | Variation in gamma ray flux was recorded during the Annular Solar Eclipse on 21 June, 2020 is reported. The experiment was performed at Jaipur, India where $88.3 \%$ of the solar disc was eclipsed. For this experiment, two Sodium Iodide NaI (Tl) scintillation detectors were employed for the experiment and flux was recorded in the energy range $300 keV$ to $2 MeV$. The first detector employed to record data for the duration of 3 hours and 30 minutes records a sizeable enhancement at the characteristic energy $1460 keV$ and the corresponding single escape peak at $949 keV$. No substantial variation in the radiations was noticed by the detector employed for recording data for 20 critical minutes during the peak of the eclipse. |
