We report results from analysis of the observations of the dipping low mass X-ray binary XB 1323 - 619 made with BeppoSAX and Rossi-XTE .
The dust-scattered halo contributes significantly in this source , and the observation made with BeppoSAX on 1997 August was used to provide MECS radial intensity profiles at several energies .
From these , the halo fractions were obtained and thus an optical depth to dust scattering of 1.8 \pm 0.4 derived .
In the Rossi-XTE observation of April 25–28 , 1997 , seven X-rays dips were observed together with 7 bursts repeating approximately periodically .
Non-dip and dip PCA spectra can be well-described by assuming the emission consists of point-like blackbody emission identified with the neutron star , plus Comptonized emission from an extended ADC .
The blackbody temperature is 1.79 \pm 0.21 keV and the cut-off power law photon index 1.61 \pm 0.04 .
Spectral evolution in dipping is well described by progressive covering of the extended Comptonizing region by absorber plus more rapid removal of the point-like blackbody .
The effects of dust scattering and of the X-ray pulsar 1SAX J1324.4-6200 also in the field of view are included in the fitting .
We detect an iron line at \sim 6.4 keV and its probable origin in the ADC is discussed .
